Schumann: Frage
Label: SONY CLASSICAL Catalog: 19075889192 Format: CD Baritone - Christian Gerhaher Piano - Gerold HuberSechs Gesänge, Op. 107 Romanzen und Balladen, Vol. II, Op. 49 Drei Gesänge, Op. 83 Zwölf Gedichte, Op. 35 Vier Gesänge, Op. 142 Frage is the opening chapter of Christian Gerhahrer's project to record all of Schumann's songs. For Gerhaher himself, this release represents the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream and, as he himself emphasizes, is "probably the most important project of my entire life." Since Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's pioneering recording of the 1970s no other singer has devoted himself so comprehensively to Robert Schumann's complete lieder output. Frage will focus on one key cycle. The twelve Kerner Lieder op. 35 are combined here with the op. 49 and op. 89 cycles as well as with the Sechs Gesänge op. 107 and the Vier Gesänge op. 142. This project will include his long-time collaborator and pianist Gerold Huber and fellow singers Julia Kleiter, Wiebke Lehmkuhl, Sybilla Rubens, Camilla Tilling and Martin Mitterutzner.
