Lieder - Songs
Catalog Number: BIS738
A captivating collection of songs by three extraordinary women composers — Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, and Alma Mahler — who each carved out a creative voice in the shadow of famous men. These lyrical gems, spanning the Romantic era into early modernism, are brought to life by soprano Christina Högman and pianist Roland Pöntinen in a deeply expressive performance.

Lieder - Songs
This album shines a light on the rich song output of Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, and Alma Mahler — three women whose musical voices have often been overshadowed by their more famous male contemporaries and relatives.
Clara Schumann’s finely crafted Lieder reflect both personal devotion and professional brilliance, often written as intimate gifts for her husband Robert. Fanny Mendelssohn’s songs, many unpublished during her lifetime, reveal a profound lyrical talent equal to her brother Felix’s. Alma Mahler’s deeply romantic songs, shaped under the restrictions of her marriage to Gustav Mahler, show both individuality and stylistic ties to Wagner and Brahms.
Performed with sensitivity and nuance by Swedish soprano Christina Högman and pianist Roland Pöntinen, this program offers a rare and rewarding glimpse into the emotional and artistic depth of these often-overlooked composers.
