"Heilige Seelenlust is an imposing work that never fails to impress through sheer vitality, variety and invention. This recording was made during the first performances of the work and one can certainly sense the excitement of all concerned in taking part in a special occasion. On the whole everyone sings and plays with commitment and conviction. The immaculate singing of Ann De Renais may certainly be singled-out."
