May I second David Harbin's perceptive championing of these wonderful songs? That they (and many other of Korngold's works) have not received more attention is disgraceful. Besides the Finney/Downes recording, I also have recordings of the songs sung by Anne Sofie von Otter (DG 459 631-2) - my favorite -and Steven Kimbrough (Acanta 43 539), both of these with the original piano accompaniment.
