Stefan Grasse, Corinna Schreiter - Leise flehen meine Lieder (2021)

It's hard to believe, but Corinna Schreiter and Stefan Grasse are only now, after years of working together, presenting their first CD together.

Thematically, they have completely immersed themselves in the German-language romantic song and knowledgeably put together well-known, but also wonderful new discoveries. The title “Quietly begging my songs” alone, taken from the song “Ständchen”, describes the intimate mood of this album very aptly.

"Schreiter interpreted the passion and longing in the compositions wonderfully poetically, vividly and haunted," said the critic Evelyn Beck and continued: "Expression, emotions and dynamics in her voice let feelings radiate and revealed tragedy and the suffering of the lyrical self The lightness of the guitar merged with the intensity of her voice. "

With original or transcribed guitar accompaniment, lyrics by Friedrich Rückert, Hoffmann von Fallersleben and Heinrich Heine can be heard, perfectly set to music by Franz Schubert, Carl Maria von Weber, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and Robert Schumann.

"Schreiter interpreted the passion and longing in the compositions wonderfully poetically, vividly and haunted ... The virtuoso guitar playing by Stefan Grasses combined with the expressive soprano Corinna Schreiter ... The lightness of the guitar merged with the intensity and power of her voice."
