Led by master conductor and composer Robert Shaw, the RS Festival Singers perform 40 of Brahm's songs, lightly piano-accompanied and under three headings: 'Lebeslieder-Walzer, Op. 52, Neue Liebeslieder-Walzer, Op. 65, and Sieben Abendlieder. The large, extensive liner notes have all the lyrics. We particularly liked 'Liebeslieder-Walzer' cuts 1, 5, 6, 11, and 14, 'Neue Liebeslieder-Walzer Op. 65, cuts19, 21, 23, 26, 30 and 31, and 'Sieben Abendlieder' cuts 34, 37, 38 and 40. As with all Robert Shaw CDs, this one is elegantly arranged, beautifully sung and perfectly directed-great material, wonderfully performed!
