Given the limited representation of Schreker’s music in DG’s catalogue, the release of this excellent double album of works by a composer whose operas once rivalled those of Richard Strauss in popularity in the German-speaking world is most welcome. ... The playing of the Berlin Konzerthaus Orchestra under Christoph Eschenbach is both meticulously prepared and wonderfully idiomatic. ... I marginally prefer Chen Reiss’s performance here to the fine recording by Valda Wilson on Capriccio, while Matthias Goerne delivers a similarly warm and perceptive account of the Five Songs. ... With recorded sound of splendid presence and definition, this is altogether a most recommendable release.  Christian Hoskins
