Love poems of Wolfgang von Goethe and Eduard Mörike in settings by Beethoven, Brahms, Loewe,
Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann and Wolf.
Each year a small group of the Royal Academy of Music's most accomplished performers of song repertoire
are selected to form Song Circle. Since its inception in 2004, Song Circle has given more than 20 concerts,
including thematic programmes on Spring, Spain, Seduction and Farewell.
Song Circle's annual Schubertiade has become a much anticipated feature of the Academy's events calendar.
As well as regular performances at the Academy, Song Circle has twice given concerts at Wigmore Hall. This
is Song Circle's third CD.
"A showcase for outstanding vocal talent at the
Royal Academy of Music, this well-planned
disc also offers an attractive programme"
