"The singing, as ever with Hotter in his prime (which this mostly is), is the work of a giant who could be both gentle and fearsome..."
Gramophone
"If ever there was an icon in the opera world then surely the bass-baritone Hans Hotter (1909-2003) was it. EMI Classics have done us all a service by releasing what is, in effect, his complete EMI recordings at such an attractive price. It focuses on his lieder output, but every aspect of his career is touched upon and we are provided with as good a survey of this magnificent artist as one could hope for."
