This album features the legendary Dutch soprano Elly Ameling, accompanied by Jörg Demus, performing a collection of Robert Schumann's most beloved Lieder. Known for her luminous voice and impeccable artistry, Ameling breathes life into Schumann’s emotional landscapes, capturing the essence of German Romanticism.

The repertoire spans a variety of Schumann’s works, with texts by poets like Friedrich Rückert, Heinrich Heine, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
