Helmut Deutsch, piano

"Salon music in the best sense of the word – distinguished ...by wonderful performers. Munich singer Katharina Ruckgaber recites the songs with a clear, well-controlled voice, while Vienna's Helmut Deutsch accompanies her in a manner befitting the genre – light-footed and modest." (Ö1)

"Lovingly performed... The informative booklet, which includes the lyrics, does not reveal who had the idea of putting this distinctive footnote to music history in the spotlight. Perhaps Helmut Deutsch was the guiding spirit, performing his not particularly challenging piano part with love. Soprano Katharina Ruckgaber, who also takes on the role of narrator in the fairy tale, brings unadulterated joy with her vocal charm, clear diction and sincere delivery. (Klassik Heute)
