Clara Schumann’s songs are among the treasures of her creative work and rightfully take their place with the best of the German Lieder repertoire. David Rahbee’s sensitively stylistic orchestration underscores the themes beloved by German romantics: the beauties of nature, love, yearning, unrest, melancholy, foreboding, separation, mystery and death.
