Dorothea Röschmann stands apart. Her singing conveys an unadorned passion and honest beauty that draw you in and hold you rapt. Hilary Finch of London’s Times was left spellbound by her “intensity and feral force that is lost in more self-consciously dramatizing performances.” You will be as well when Röschmann performs Liszt and Wolf with pianist Malcolm Martineau.
