About
Brahms' meeting with the Schumanns opened up new horizons for him: this CD relates an astonishing musical conversation between the three of them.
Fascinated by the manifold interactions between this artistic trinity, Werner Güra and pianist Christoph Berner devised a semi-staged concert performance which forms the basis of the selection of lieder on this CD.
In songs and letters [here not read, but printed, in a sumptuous booklet] is a musical and literary journey into Romanticism at its most exalted. At the time of the original release (October 2004), there was no solo tenor recording of the Brahms or Clara Schumann [and none with this sheer beauty of voice and diction].
“Few recordings in the catalogue recreate so perfectly the fleetness of spirit, the elusive longing, impetuous excitement and anger within these tiny cameos of emotion.” - Hilary Finch, Benchmark, BBC Music Magazine, December 2004
“magnificent performances” - Christopher Book, International Record Review, November 2004
"Güra proves an eloquent interpreter, characterising the dialogues without exaggeration and, crucially, knowing when to be simple." - Richard Wigmore, The Daily Telegraph, 6 November 2004
