Mezzo star Elīna Garančac companied in a programme of Schumann and Brahms by pianist Malcolm Martineau.

The Latvian singer has recorded her  first solo  recital album devoted exclusively to the Lied genre, choosing works that she has been performing live on stage for many years with the aim of documenting her personal interpretations of some classics of the German song repertoire.

The programme opens with Schumann’s song cycle Frauenliebe- und Leben op.42. Composed in 1840, it offers a chronological narrative of the different stages in the life of a woman. To complement the Schumann, she has chosen a selection of Lieder by Johannes Brahms - basing her choice of material on the desire to juxtapose songs expressing very different states of mind.

Garanča is accompanied on this album by Scottish pianist Malcolm Martineau, a sensitive and experienced musician who has long been her trusted partner in exploring these emotional sound worlds.
