Genre: Classical

This album is both a debut and a proof of musical pedigree. After numerous orchestral albums, for the first time Elīna Garanča devotes an entire disc to Lieder – in a phase in which the Latvian mezzo-soprano triumphs on stage with heavyweight Verdi and verismo arias while essentially on the verge of her first Wagner role. For her first solo recital album, the mezzo-soprano has chosen two composers – Schumann and Brahms - whose works have been with her for many years. The heart of this album is Robert Schumann’s Frauenliebe und Leben op. 42, a musical setting about devotion to love. In addition to the Schumann cycle, on this record she also dedicates herself to a selection of Brahms songs that express very different emotions and moods. Whether in Liebestreu op. 3 no. 1, Geheimnis op. 71 no. 3, Heimweh II op. 63 no. 8 or Von ewiger Liebe op. 43 no. 1. With pianist Malcolm Martineau as a highly sensitive and experienced accompanist of many years.
