Overview

Grace Bumbry – Lieder-Recital showcases the expressive and powerful voice of the celebrated mezzo-soprano Grace Bumbry, performing a beautiful selection of German Lieder. Accompanied by Leonard Hokanson on piano, Bumbry brings life to works by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Johannes Brahms.

This recital captures the intimacy and emotional depth of the German song repertoire, including Schubert’s poignant Gretchen am Spinnrade and Die Taubenpost, Schumann’s evocative Mondnacht and Widmung, and Brahms’ lyrical Feldeinsamkeit and Mondenschein. The album highlights Bumbry’s ability to convey both the subtle nuances and the passionate expression inherent in these timeless songs.
