I'm not saying that Schumann wrote the very finest Lieder of all, but these performances are sumptuous in their radiant colours... Fink, full of expression, makes the very best of this material, ably assisted by Spiri in a magnificently recorded treat... I really can't recommend this CD highly enough...
