Pre-Order: Clara / Timothy Lovelace Osowski * Franz Schubert: Lieder [New CD]

Clara Osowski lends her lush mezzo-soprano to 19 lieder penned by Franz Schubert during the last 13 years of the composer's all too short life. Landscape abounds in this collection - lakes, rushing streams, the rising moon, stars, flowers, birdsong. True to Schubert's conception, the American mezzo - who makes her solo debut recording with this release - considers her voice and that of pianist Timothy Lovelace equal partners.
