| Christian Gerhaher | Barítono |
| Gerold Huber | Piano |
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 duo’s first programme comprises 3 Poems setting Emanuel Geibel and the Kerner Lieder (both 1840), 6 Songs of Wilfried von der Neun and the fourth volume of Lieder und Gesänge (both 1850), the 3 Songs of Gustav Pfarrius (1851), and the 6 Songs Op. 107 (1851-2).
