 | | I won’t pretend to familiarity with every recording of Wunderhorn, but of those I have heard, this DG sounds to me — well, if not the absolute best, certainly neck-in-neck with the front runners, and it has the added advantage of a fine recording and availability — no small matter, that. |
 | | The term Makbénach comes from Gerard de Nerval’s The Story of the Queen of the Morning and Soliman, Prince of Genies. |
