Schumann: Song Cycles

The expressive tenor of James Gilchrist casts a warm light over thirty-seven of Schumann's greatest songs: the two Liederkreis cycles—to poetry by Heine (Op 24, Schumann's first vocal work to be published) and Eichendorff (Op 39)—and the seminal Dichterliebe of 1840.

A 24-bit 192 kHz studio master for this album is available from the Linn Records website.
