Clara Schumann: Complete Songs

Miriam Alexandra (soprano), Peter Gijsbertsen (tenor) & Jozef De Beenhouwer (piano)

Although Clara Schumann’s songs are not as popular as her piano works, this disc makes a good case for them. Some phrasing is a little laboured, but it’s a pleasant listen nonetheless.

Although Clara Schumann’s songs are not as popular as her piano works, this disc makes a good case for them. Some phrasing is a little laboured, but it’s a pleasant listen nonetheless.

September 2019

Gijsbertsen bring[s] ringing heroic tone and dramatic urgency to his numbers…There’s a great deal to enjoy in his account of the fine songs that make up Op. 13…he makes no a less persuasive case for the precocious works of the early 1830s…Alert piano-playing from Jozef De Beenhouwer.
