Werk: Liebst du um Schönheit, Op.12 no.2

The all-female program Schultz and pianist Jonathan Ware brought to the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society spanned three centuries, three languages and several continents.

A fine concert, the first in a series celebrating the bicentenary of Clara Schumann's independent musical mind.

German baritone Roman Trekel, who made a rare London appearance replacing Dorothea Röschmann at the Wigmore Hall on Friday night, is a highly respected singer known especially for his many Wagner roles as well as for his Lieder interpretation. I first encountered him singing Wolfram in Tannhaüser at the Bayreuth Festival some years ago.
