“…a marvelous…collection of songs performed to perfection by Lauralyn Kolb, whose voice, intelligence, musicality, and style qualify her to sing almost any genre of Lied or art song.… I’ve been arrested by the charm and rightness of Kolb’s phrasing, by the warmth and expressiveness of her manner, and by the sheer beauty of her voice. She is a treasure…” AUDIO
