About

Two great artists at the peak of their powers, the soprano Dorothea Röschmann and the pianist Dame Mitsuko Uchida perform songs by Schumann (Liederkreis, Op.39 and Frauenliebe und Leben) and Alban Berg (Seven Early Songs).

The album features the three great cycles on the subject of love and life, and Schumann’s great love for Clara Wieck is at the heart of Liederkreis, songs he described in a letter to her as his “most romantic music ever, with much of you in it”.

The artists toured this programme extensively and this performance was captured live at Wigmore Hall. The reviews were glowing and this programme of songs about love touched the hearts of the audience wherever it was performed.

Reviews

Dorothea Röschmann's voice is now, surely, one of the most beautiful in the lyric soprano range, having become somewhat larger and fuller than it was ten years ago [...] It is shown almost to perfection in the gorgeous recital dfisc, recorded (but not before an audience) in the Wigmore Hall.
