97410

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) devoted himself to composing Lieder at different periods of his life, especially in the 1840s, the so-called Liederjahr, and in his later years, starting in 1849. Alongside Lieder for solo voice and piano, he composed numerous duets and some Lieder for three and four voices, either in homogeneous collections, or by including a few songs for several voices in collections of solo Lieder.

This highly valuable 4-CD set of new recordings contains the complete songs for multiple voice and piano, on poems by Geibel, Heine and Rückert, but also a substantial part of folk songs, drawn from the rich German culture of folk literature and poetry.

Sung by Elisabetta Lombardi (mezzo-soprano), Elisabetta Pallucchi (contralto), Valentina Valente (soprano), Mark Milhofer (tenor) and Mauro Borgioni (baritone), accompanied on the piano by Filippo Farinelli, the indefatigable champion of important song projects of lesser known repertoire.
