BaL 6.04.13 - Schumann's Myrthen

A very enjoyable BaL - I've only just caught up with it on the iPlayer. I've known, and loved, the Heine & Eichendorff Liederkreise for ages, but recognised very few of these Myrthen songs, so it was a good voyage of discovery. The extracts which caught my attention were Holzmair/Cooper; I followed up with some Spotifying, and very much likes what I heard - Cooper's accompaniments are wonderfully flexible & imaginative, and Holzmair (a singer who I'd never closely listened to) makes a gorgeous sound. There's an Eloquence bargain box of all their Schumann: contents viewable at Presto, which I've ordered.
