Schumann / Williams / Glynn- V1: Schumann In English (CD)
Christopher Glynn continues his Lieder in English series by joining three of today's foremost singers to perform Robert Schumann's best-loved song cycles in new English versions by Jeremy Sams - a new way to encounter and enjoy some of the most romantic and atmospheric songs ever composed. 'Schumann is one of music's great storytellers - and never more so than in the song cycles of 1840. These vivid new translations by Jeremy Sams recreate the immediacy and intimacy of his storytelling for modern English-speaking listeners, offering a new perspective on these famous songs of loneliness and love, joy and sorrow, marriage and separation.' - Christopher Glynn
Tracklist:
- Song cycle, to poems by Eichendorff (Liederkreis Op. 39)~III. A forest dialogue
- Poet's Love (Dichterliebe Op. 48)~I. In May, the sweetest time of year
- woman's life, a woman's love (Frauenliebe und -leben Op. 42)~II. How on earth can I describe him?
