New Raff lieder recording next year

[Mark Thomas]

The first half of 2021 should see the issue of a CD featuring 29 lieder by Raff, none of which have been recorded before. Ranging from what was probably his most popular song to one discovered only a couple of years ago, they represent the whole of Raff's composing career, and are variously performed by five singers: soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor and bass. The recordings have already been made and those that I've heard are absolutely lovely, which bodes well for the complete CD. More details when I have them and am able to share.

Mark, do you know if these songs range across orchestral, chamber, piano, etc?

[Mark Thomas]

Purely voice(s) & piano.

[Alan Howe]

A very enticing prospect!

[Gareth Vaughan]

I agree, wholeheartedly. Looking forward to it very much.
