Daniel Johannsen (tenor) & Elena Larina (piano) The most prolific period of Schumann’s vocal composition began in 1840, in which he composed more than 140 songs, with the culmination being Dichterliebe. Award-winning tenor Daniel Johannsen and his duo partner, Elena Larina, consistently emphasize the compositional subtleties of these fine songs. “By nature, the Austrian tenor's voice is clear in definition and tone...It sounds like the expression of a sharp mind with a good deal of cunning about it - this is Dichterliebe sung by Wagner's Loge...Larina (we must suppose) sees the role of the pianist in this score not as part of the poet's introspective, lyrical mind but as an external, dramatic commentary.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.

| |  | Schumann: Works for Organ or Pedal Piano
Thomas Trotter (Ladegast Organ, Merseburg Cathedral) A new release from international organ virtuoso, Thomas Trotter. The complete works by Robert Schumann suitable for the organ . Released for Schumann anniversary year, 2010. Recorded on the magnificent Ladegast Organ of Merseburg Cathedral in Germany – an instrument contemporary with Schumann’s music. The largest instrument in Germany at the time the music was written and ideally suited to the performance of these works on the organ. “Schumann's works for organ or pedal piano offer considerable rewards when taken as seriously as Thomas Trotter does here...Playing with crisp articulation and a very Schumannesque sense of poetry, Trotter delivers virtuosity where necessary. His registrations are subtle and imaginative, making the most of a historically important organ” BBC Music Magazine, January 2011 **** “Trotter pays loving attention to the detail of Schumann's writing, whether picking out a soaring melody or navigating the intricately crosswordish terrain of the fugues.” Classic FM Magazine, March 2011 **** “What on the surface might appear to be a forbidding, completist and scholarly programme proves to be as enthralling as it is diverse, revealing an all too rarely heard side of Schumann's genius. Trotter, as usual, displays his mastery of tonal colouring but there is also a rhythmic vitality that upstages his competitors in these works” Gramophone Magazine, January 2011 “The best-known pieces are the six Studies, which were arranged by Bizet for piano duet and by Debussy for two pianos, and in Trotter's performances it is those six pieces that emerge as the most memorable, too... On the instrument for which Liszt wrote his great BACH Prelude and Fugue, Trotter's performances are wonderfully dextrous” The Guardian, 21st October 2010 *** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
