The stylistic diversity of European art song: from Rossini's Italian charm to Ravel's folksong-like miniatures and Debussy's melodious poetry, performed with expressiveness and subtlety.
The second part centres on two highlights of the German-language song repertoire: Robert Schumann's Song cycle op. 39 and Richard Strauss' Girl flowers - Works full of emotion, depth and musical poetry.
