Of course I must compare these results with what other review magazines thought. There's nothing surprising here; the only two that got several not-so-good reviews elsewhere were the two I would expect - the Schubert and Mozart. Winterreise's one of those works that's regarded on just too high a level for any recording to be universally acclaimed as a success, and there are some listeners who just don't like Jacobs's way with the Mozart operas.
