Notes
Some of Schumann’s early songs, such as Liedfürxxx, show the influence of Schubert, but it was in 1840, his ‘Year of Song’, that Schumann fully turned his attention to vocal music. The Zweistimmige Lieder, Op.43 were the first that he composed after his marriage to Clara Wieck, and many of the songs from this time set texts on the subject of love. Schumann’s literary background and cultivated tastes mean that any such collection of his songs reads like a catalogue of the greatest poets of his time, with the tragic narratives of Mörike and Heine in the Romanzen und Balladen, Op. 64 as powerful as any opera.

Reviews
“Some of Schumann’s sweetest songs are sweetly and sincerely sung here by soprano Caroline Meltzer and mezzo-soprano Anke Vondung. Their voices are of similar timbre, and they are disciplined, thoughtful musicians giving us their best, which is very, very good… Ulrich Eisenlohr, an artist of depth and integrity, supports the singers with solid, evocative accompaniments, raising the artistic level of this entire enterprise.”
Raymond Beegle – Fanfare – September/October 2021
“… The singers are exceptionally well suited to lieder … All three have light and youthful-sounding voices that fit the texts well… Eisenlohr has been a mainstay of lieder projects for Naxos. Once again he is a sensitive and dependable collaborator, always attentive to the singer and the text. A thoroughly enjoyable album beautifully sung and well recorded…”
