STRAUSS / BERG / SCHOENBERG
Longing. Lieder by Strauss, Berg, Schoenberg
Lucy Crowe; Anna Tilbrook

[ Linn Records / CD ]

Release Date: Friday 27 August 2021

Lucy Crowe makes her Linn recital debut with a programme of lieder by Berg, Richard Strauss and Schoenberg, which perfectly highlights why she is known as one of the leading lyric sopranos of her generation. Lucy is joined by pianist Anna Tilbrook, with whom she has forged a near symbiotic connection over a twenty-year professional partnership, comprising numerous performances at Wigmore and Queen Elizabeth Halls, London, and Carnegie Hall, New York. The programme encompasses both the beginning and end of Strauss's prodigious songwriting career with five songs from his first published set Acht Gedichte aus Letzte Blätter plus his posthumously published swansong of sublime beauty, Vier letzte Lieder. Berg's Sieben frühe Lieder are landmark compositions which invoke the late Romantic world of Strauss; they sit alongside Vier Lieder by Berg's mentor Schoenberg, whose post-Wagnerian chromaticism points to the composer's later style. Following their Wigmore Hall performance in June 2020 The Guardian stated: 'Berg's Seven Early Songs suits Crowe uncommonly well, with her exquisite tone, fastidious sense of line, and understated but telling way with words.'
