Raff lieder

Due out from Sterling in around six weeks is a generous selection of 29 lieder by Raff:


They comprise single songs, complete sets and pieces from larger collections, spanning Raff's creative life. Some, like Ständchen (the only one to have been recorded before), were once very well known, another - the rather lovely Traumlied - has only just been discovered in manuscript, but all, as one might expect, demonstrate Raff's melodic generosity. The five singers are all young artists and this lends a special freshness to their interpretations, which I found especially appealing but I suppose might not be to everyone's taste. Hedayet Jonas Djeddikar is a consistently sensitive and lyrical accompanist.
