"Carpe Diem presents us with a travelogue of the night. The Half-Light CD makes great chronological leaps by juxtaposing songs of the sixteenth and twentieth centuries. Musically, however, some of the pieces are less dissimilar than the enormous gap in time might lead us to expect. Accompanied by Kathrin Görne on the guitar, Cornelia Hellwig sings beautifully, with clean phrasing and an extraordinary sense of style. And the guitarist gets ample opportunity to display her enormous virtuosity - especially in Benjamin Britten's Nocturnal for guitar solo" (Frankfurter Rundschau)

"In this sophisticated project, Cornelia Hellwig and Kathrin Görne evoke contrasting moods in quick succession with a rapport and sense of balance which are impressive."
(Klassik heute)

"An excellent recording, with fine balance and outstanding stereo imaging, of music which is largely introvert. Cornelia Hellwig and Kathrin Görne exhibit exceptional discrimination in the way they animate each item in a programme which provides an excellent framework for Britten's Nocturnal op. 70 (1963) for guitar solo; Dowland's song Come, heavy sleep, on which Britten's work is based, is also performed in its original form. Kathrin Görne interprets the guitar piece superbly. Her phrasing, connection of chords, legato and tonal balance could not be better." (Fono Forum)

"A musical moment of very special magic and intensity" (Gitarre und Laute)

Recorded at the Andreaskirche in Berlin-Wannsee in October 1996 and February 1997
