Product Review

First release of the live concert from the 2003 Verbier Festival.

Four star singers: Andrea Rost, Magdalena Kozena, Matthew Polenzani, Thomas Quasthoff and two great pianists: Yefim Bronfman, James Levine

Performed in the spirit of true chamber music, with characterful voices and a feeling of mutual sympathy, the singers and their accompanists display a wide range of mood, color, accentuation, blend and individuality.

A linked program of Brahms lieder, sung by each of the soloists in turn, and Brahmss ever-popular Liebeslieder Waltzes opp. 52 and 65.

Generous 80+ minutes of great music-making.
