Katharina Weber

Mit inniger Empfindung (2010)

item number CR367

released December 9, 2010

Compositions from Robert Schumann’s Album für die Jugend [Album for the Young] and György Kurtág‘s Játékok ([Games]) alternate here for the first time. These short pieces intermingle in a light-hearted dialogue, and the musically discrete time windows blend and merge surprisingly and with marvellous intimacy.
