“Maltman’s baritone is impressive and authoritative, and he’s a sensitive, natural communicator who brings a directness to the songs’ many emotions. It’s never been a honeyed voice...but the sincerity and integrity of his performances are compelling. For his part, Joseph Middleton is superb in conveying all the worlds conjured up by some demanding piano-writing...It all adds up to an affecting, intelligent recital that’s well worth seeking out.”
