Schumann: Lieder / Schreier

Schreier; Shetler

Composed by: Schumann, Robert

Tenor Peter Schreier's particular qualities as a Lieder singer are ideally suited to the impulsive, dramatic, often melancholy spirit of Robert Schumann's idiom, which itself found fullest expression in his songs. Mr. Schreier's deep understanding both of the poetry and the settings allow his readings entrance into the very essence of the works, making them part of his own self. “…very intelligent and musical…every lover of Schumann's Lieder should take note…”. - Gramophone, 1978.
