The City of Melbourne Song Recital Award was created by the late Mietta O'Donnell and Tony Knox out of a concern for the diminishing numbers of practitioners and audiences for the Art Song.

Press quotes
“For lovers of Strauss Lieder this is a CD that should not be missed.”
— The Lieder Society of Victoria
“The singing throughout is beautifully lyrical, firmly shaped with fine tonal control over the wide vocal range the songs demand, and with a notable expressive coloration of their differing moods and dynamics ... this is a disc to enchant and delight any lover of German lied.”
— The Canberra Times
