"Recording of the month: In line with the title of the album, Marianne Beate Kielland sings the majority of the songs simply and rather conversationally. There is a natural and intimate atmosphere about the whole disc, very beautiful singing and a deceptive feeling of artlessness ... She is firmly established as one of the leading mezzo-sopranos of her time. The present disc only confirms her greatness ... Marianne Beate Kielland, who follows the principle "less is more", comes closer to the true Mozart than anyone else I have heard. With the support of Nils Anders Mortensen's listened-in accompaniment ... this is now a first recommendation for a single CD with Mozart's songs"
