Felicitas Erb - Duets & Romances - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

Throughout his life Johannes Brahms composed songs, including several cycles for two or more vocalists. Accompanied by Doriana Tchakarova, Felicitas and Judith Erb now present the duets in a finely tuned Super Audio album. With Magnus Dietrich, the ladies are joined by a truly youthful and radiant tenor for the clearly InchmaleInch pieces - a real asset, not only for the great ballads! The folksong-like tone runs through numerous duets. How Brahms, despite - or precisely because of? - the simplicity of the melody, is grandiose for example, in the popular InchSchwesterleinInch, or also in the dramatic ballad InchEdwardInch with it's piano part like an arch-king. Only for about half of the duets is the performance with two singers compulsory; Brahms even expressly intended the InchRomances and SongsInch op. 84 for one or two singers. Felicitas and Judith Erb turn the tables and reinterpret many a Brahms song InchDer tote GastInch, for example, or InchDa unten i'm TaleInch, as well as the aforementioned InchSchwesterleinInch, appear in a completely new light in the performance for two. On the Steinway concert grand InchManfred BürkiInch from 1901, Doriana Tchakarova performs the piano part with somnambulistic certainty and a great sense for the intense mood of the individual works. From intimate to dramatic, from lyrical to sweeping, everything is there - a true listening pleasure, and not only in the three-dimensional reproduction!
