“Horman has a big, glorious voice, its colours well-suited to Strauss’s music and mostly able to soar over orchestral textures. The quieter opening of Ruhe, meine Seele! (Rest, my soul!) was beautifully gentle and rich-toned, gathering power as the dynamic built. In Heimliche Aufforderung (Secret Invitation), Horman showed a lighter character in joyous singing and in the famous Morgen (Tomorrow), both she and a sensitive orchestra, with lovely harp, allowed time for the beauty to unfold.  Here, and in Zueignung (Devotion) from Strauss’s Opus 10 songs which concluded her set, Horman revealed a talent for emotional communication.“
