Are there any lieder entusiasts on this list? I disovered lieder a year ago
I have greatky enjoyed the songs of Schumann and Schubert I started with
singing lessons a year and I had just discovered Dichterliebe throgh the
Bostridge/Drake recording on EMI. So Istarted singing those lovely pieces.
I now own the Holzmair/Copper on Philips, a marvellous record, and
Goerne/Ashkenazy- Goerne soft-grained dark bass-baritone is very beatiful
but Ashenazy's playing is bit ham-fisted. I would like more versions of
this music. Any suggestions?
By the way, those of you who like 20-century music, don't miss Hanns Eilser
Hollywood Songbook with Goerne and Eric Schneider. Gorene calls it the
"Winterreise" of the 20:th century! I have gratly enjoyed this record.
