Brahms: Complete Songs Vol.1
New Store Stock
Graham Johnson s complete Schubert and Schumann songs series for Hyperion are landmarks in the history of recorded music. Now this indefatigable performer and scholar turns to the songs and vocal works of Brahms. Each disc of this series will take a journey through Brahms life and career. The songs are not quite presented in chronological order, but they do appear here in the order that the songs were presented to the world. In a number of these Hyperion recitals, an opus number will be presented in its entirety (in the case of this disc, Op. 48). The folksongs of 1894 will be shared between all the singers in the series. The celebrated mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager is featured in the debut release in the series. She enjoys an international career as one of today s most important singers, dividing her time between recitals and opera in Europe, North America and the Far East.
