Felicitas Erb; Judith Erb; Magnus Dietrich; D. Tchakarova - Brahms: Duets And Romances

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 CD.

With Magnus Dietrich, the ladies are joined by a truly youthful and radiant tenor for the clearly male pieces - a real asset, not only for the great ballads.

For only about half of the duets are the performance with two singers compulsory; Brahms even expressly intended the Romances and Songs op. 84 for one or two singers.

Felicitas and Judith Erb turn the tables and reinterpret many a Brahms song: Der tote Gast, for example, or Da unten im Tale, as well as the aforementioned Schwesterlein, appear ina completely new light in the performance for two.

On the Steinway concert grand Manfred Burki from 1901, Doriana Tchakarova performs the piano part with absolute certainty and a great sense for the intense mood of the individualworks. From intimate to dramatic, from lyrical to sweeping, everything is there - a true listening pleasure, and not only in thethree-dimensional reproduction.
