Editor's Info:
Raphaël Pichon and his Ensemble Pygmalion invite us to follow the course of the Rhine in the company of his ‘maidens’.
Drawing on the German imaginative heritage, they present a programme in a number of tableaux in which these great composers of German Romanticism are, as it were, intertwined on the thread of a tradition, bearing the song of the Rhinemaidens in all its mystery and enchantment.
Purchasing this CD also allows you to download the recording as 24-bit HD audio files (simply enter the unique code inside each CD).

BBC Music Magazine
The vocal ensemble Pygmalion, resident at the Opera de Bordeaux, are suitably seductive sirens – and even Bernarda Fink makes a cameo appearance in Schubert’s D920 Grillparzer Ständchen, her serenading awash with fellow female songsters, and harp.

Gramophone Magazine
It’s the discipline of the delivery – whether it’s the firm, resonant voices or punchy horns – that impresses most here. Both passionate and precise about their subject matter, Pygmalion have discovered watery depths to familiar composers, and have certainly not sold us down the river

MusicWeb International
as a potted history of the use of canon form by German romantics, the disc works very well…Moreover, the performances themselves are of high quality: the instrumentalists are beyond reproach, Fink is good, and Pygmalion’s female singers are in most respects exemplary, particularly in the matter of intonation.

The Arts Desk
a desert island disc, and one of those things you'd be tempted to rush in and save from a burning house.
