"Anna Leese is in superb voice throughout. We first hear her in one of the earlier German songs, 'Mother's belated arrival.' Leese uses her significant interpretative abilities to bring this drama in miniature to life. Generally, I found Peter Lodahl's performances to be rather bland and lacking in character and colour when compared against Leese's. The pianist on this recording is Alisdair Hogarth and he does a fine job of Haydn’s detailed piano parts. This disc is clearly a welcome addition to the catalogue and followers of Anna Leese’s blossoming international career will not want to be without it."

An outstanding recording of high artistic quality. The only minus would be that one could wish more duets with the two singers. Anna Leese is a new name to me- but what a great one. Peter Lodahl I have followed with big pleasure during the last 3 years at The Komische Oper in Berlin. Two very promising careers to keep an eye on. The booklet is very modern for a classical recording- My compliments for the product!

"Anna Leese's performances of a splendid selection of Haydn's song repertoire are outstanding. In 'The Wanderer', 'Der Gleichsinn' and 'Fidelity', she sings with a flair and brilliance that matches the great interpreters of the past. The nineteen tracks are well chosen and show both Haydn's frivolity and his more reflective side, and with excellent accompaniment from Alisdair Hogarth and crystal-clear sound, life is indeed a dream, as the CD title suggests."
