Overview

One of today’s finest Lieder duos presents two programmes of Robert Schumann. ‘This is an album to treasure and to savour’, wrote Gramophone of their first Schumann disc, ‘and to listen to again and again’; while for the Financial Times, ‘accompanied by his regular partner in song, [Christian Gerhaher] achieves a near-perfect synthesis between words and music, singing his native German poetry with an eloquence that would be hard to surpass today, or at any time’.

The second programme selects the Eichendorff Liederkreis, 5 Songs, Op. 40 and volume three of the Romanzen und Balladen (all 1840); and the 3 Songs Op. 83 and 6 Poems of Lenau (both 1850).
