5 out of 5 stars Schumann with beauty and interpretation.......2006-06-06

The selection of Lieder solos and duets in this fine recording combines the familiar and the less familiar. One is struck not merely by the wonderful melodic quality of the pieces, but the sense of intimacy and tenderness that lies at the heart of the music. The Lieder are wonderful to perform - and to listen to two such fine singers as Dorothea Röschmann and Ian Bostridge sing together is a pleasure indeed.

The use of word painting in Lieder is absolutely pivotal to the successful performance of the works. A lovely tone is not enough - it is never enough for this sort of singing. How blessed the listener is when the performer possesses not merely beauty of voice, but the heart for Lieder, the intellect for Lieder, the ability to portray both heart and intellect...

There is a find blend between the soprano and tenor voices in this recording, and the piano accompaniment could not be bettered. The individual Lieder are sung beautifully, with feeling, taste and exquisite understanding.

So schön ist es... wunderbare Musik, wunderbar gesungen.

5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-02-06

This recording includes 8 duets with Roschmann (soprano) and Bostridge (tenor), and numerous solos.The song cycle 'Myrten' (Myrtles) consists of 26 songs full of secrets and allusions. An important part of their power is their inter-connectedness in terms of tonality. This is something new in a song cycle. At first it appears to be a patchwork quilt,but it is bound together by personal biographical allusions where every choice of poem represents an aspect of love which encompasses the legend-in -the-making that was Robert and Clara.The disc opens with Four Duets Op.34, the sound of which betoken the domesticity of the marital state. Like so many other songs of 1840 the music describes projected happiness rather than the experience of it, as if one of the duet's functions was to help turn into reality the togetherness implied by the close interactions of the music. Schumann was the natural successor to Schubert and subsequently expanded the horizons of the Leid considerably. One of the areas in which he made real innovations was the vocal duet giving this form a new life with music both exciting and touching. And we have here three of the best interpreters to put them across to us. The blend of Roschmann and Bostridge suit these songs perfectly and the German is flawless, but then I've never heard either one of them sing below standard! Graham Johnson is a Schubert expert having recorded the entire Schubert Lieder for Hyperion, so his accompaniment of the Leid of Schumann is perfection. This disc is pure listening pleasure!!!!
