Following their acclaimed recording of songs by Robert Schumann, the baritone and piano duo Simon Wallfisch and Edward Rushton return to Resonus Classics with an evocative selection of songs by Johannes Brahms. Entitled Songs of Loss and Betrayal, this intoxicating programme sees Brahms using his settings of poetry as a powerful channel for his own feelings, recalling his own personal memories of unrequited love, loss and betrayal.
GRAMOPHONE Award Nomination 2021 - Concerto
"A recording rich in sensual gratification and intellectual nourishment….Bebbington, Latham-Koenig and the RPO players are so focused on pointing up every expressive moment of these richly allusive concertos, the first and last Poulenc would write, that both emerge as strikingly vivid, despite their myriad subtleties" Gramophone Editor's Choice June 2020
"Instead of grand, virtuosic gestures, the piece skips from one playful idea to another, never taking itself too seriously...Bebbington captures the mood perfectly, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on sparkling form" The Observer
