Digital Booklet

"A richly satisfying, moving album … a very fine Schwanengesang indeed. The Vier ernste Gesänge are possibly even better: noble, refined, heartfelt, supremely moving and often beautiful in the extreme … highly recommended."
- Gramophone
An inspired coupling of two contrasting yet complementary sets of ‘swansongs’. Despite the three decades separating Brahms’s and Schubert’s ages at the time of writing, both are among their composers’ very final works, poignant reflections on the transience of life.
