Classical Recordings Quarterly

"Marston is the Rolls-Royce of historic vocal reissues. Immaculate and truthful transfers, luxurious presentation and excellent notes are what we expect from Marston and what we get here in this three- CD set of selected Lieder recordings made between 1901 and 1946, billed as the “sesquicentennial edition” and intended to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Richard Strauss."

Classical Recordings Quarterly

"This new set, including all of his records made for The Gramophone Company between 1902 and 1909, together with a selection from the vast number made later for Phonotype, offers a major resource... helped by the beautifully illustrated accompanying booklet that contains Michael Aspinall's informative notes."
