CRITIC REVIEWS:

“Rothmüller is not easily assigned to any particular country. He was born 31 December, 1908 near Zagreb, making him Croatian, but the Nazi tyranny forced him, being Jewish, to flee to Zürich, making him Swiss….The singer’s slightly distorted accent added a curious edge to the voice that makes it readily distinguishable.”

- Charles H. Parsons, AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE, May/June, 2009

"Rothmüller's voice, in common with all the greatest singers, has an immediately recognisable quality....This CD is compiled from Swiss HMV 78rpm issues from 1945, and the original discs are sufficiently rare to have acquired almost legendary status. After listening to these brilliantly compelling performances, one can only feel grateful that they have now been preserved for posterity."

- Vivian A. Liff, AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE, 1991
