Description
he fusion of lyricism and music in the Lied style, a
form in which Schumann succeeded so subtly,
finds a particular parallel in the interpretations of
Schumann’s work by Peter Schreier and Norman
Shetler. Their recordings, dating back half a
century, are still regarded as reference works for
their calmness and composure, as well as their
warmth and intimacy. These works are presented
with the same care and devotion as the music
itself in these liner notes, as we are invited to
experience the personal struggles and triumphs of
one of the most famous composers of the
Romantic era. For the first time, these legendary
recordings are brought together and released in
this 5 CD Edition.
