In recognition of the 200th anniversary of Clara Schumann's birth, this beautiful anniversary compilation presents 14 of her greatest songs. Composed chiefly after her marriage to Robert Schumann, these songs are taken from Drei Lieder aus Zwolf Gedichte aus Friederich Ruckert's Liebesfruhling opus 12 and Sechs Lieder opus 13, as well as the stand-alone songs Walzer; Am Strand; Mein Stern; Lorelei; and Beim Abschied. The high-voice edition presents each song in its original key while the medium-low edition includes appropriate transpositions of each song. Each edition comes with a book and CD of the piano accompaniments as well as introductions to each song with background information and new English translations of the original German lyrics.
