Description
Mozart's songs are surprisingly varied in many ways. Although there isn't a great number of them, they date from all periods of the composer's short life and are widely diverse in character, from simple strophic charmers such as 'Komm, lieber Mai' (Sehnsucht nach dem Fruhlinge) to extended and intensely serious utterances such as those he wrote for the Freemasons (Die ihr des unermesslichen Weltalls, from Eine kleine deutsche Kantate). They also vary in language: most are in German but he also set French and Italian texts.
All are represented here, sung by two of Britain's most popular and outstanding singers.
