About
The three song cycles in this recital reveal Schumann’s deep sensitivity both to poetry heightened as sung melody, and to the piano, supplying its non-verbal accompaniment. It has always been a delicate balance for any composer: maintaining a piano party that is never banal or formulaic, yet not overwhelming. Schumann’s song-writing supports the voice, or more importantly the poetic gesture, with the native virtuosity of Carnaval or the Dävidsbundlertänze, but turned into the most exquisite commentary beneath the vocal line.
On their debut recording for Avie records, German baritone Christian Hilz and Marianne Beate Kielland, accompanied by Katia Bouscarrut, deliver exquisite performances of some of Schumann’s most loved Lieder as well as some of the rarest on record.
