Baritone Steven Kimbrough has been described as a remarkable singer with a cultivated, easily flowing baritone of fine quality, and a rare command of words and rhythms (The New Yorker).
This album covers the periods 1889 to 1909, with one song from 1933. Here one senses Zemlinsky's earliest development and years of musical study, as he tests his skills on some of the finest German poets.
