The notorious bourgeois terror, then only 27 years old, shows a very different, internalised side here. 'There is something in these songs that forces and fascinates the listener beyond all habits of conventional song manner,' wrote a reviewer in 1923, and to this day there is nothing to add. Yvonne Friedli and Constantin Alex make it palpable in their sensitive interpretation.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Swiss soprano Yvonne Friedli shows herself equal to Hindemith's demands [\\x85]. There's a focus and concentration to her reading that is rewarding, and Constantin Alex is a fine, sensitive partner [\\x85]. The final three songs, describing Maria's death, [achieve] tragic intensity as they should and must.' \\x96 Gramophone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Hindemith: Das Marienleben, Op. 27: I.
