“The youthful Stutzmann steps in where others have feared to tread. With her instinctive understanding of the intimate drama of Lieder she gives to this highly diverse collection the benefit of her keen diction and natural musicality. Her tone is dark and very individual, a really old-fashioned contralto, and none the worse for that… Stutzmann's grave utterance seems wholly appropriate and she catches perfectly the moving quality of the texts and Schumann's close identification with them. The recording has bags of presence and the balance between voice and piano is excellent.” Gramophone
