Info for Schumann in English, Vol. 1

Drei herrliche Liederzyklen Schumanns liegen hier in Jeremy Sams’ neuen englischen Übersetzungen und entsprechenden Interpretationen vor.

Christopher Glynn setzt seine Reihe Lieder in englischer Sprache fort, indem er zusammen mit drei der besten Sängerinnen und Sängern der Gegenwart Robert Schumanns beliebteste Liederzyklen in neuen englischen Versionen von Jeremy Sams aufführt - eine neue Art, einige der romantischsten und stimmungsvollsten Lieder, die je komponiert wurden, kennenzulernen und zu genießen. Schumann ist einer der großen Geschichtenerzähler der Musik - und nie mehr als in den Liederzyklen von 1840. Diese lebendigen neuen Übersetzungen von Jeremy Sams lassen die Unmittelbarkeit und Intimität seiner Erzählungen für moderne englischsprachige Hörer wieder aufleben und bieten eine neue Perspektive auf diese berühmten Lieder über Einsamkeit und Liebe, Freude und Trauer, Ehe und Trennung. - Christopher Glynn
