Companions of Art by Sophia Jaffé and Björn Lehmann
July 2023
Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms were bound together for four decades by a great artistic friendship. They shared a common interest and exchanged ideas on a personal and artistic level. The violinist Sophia Jaffé and the pianist Björn Lehmann have been duo partners for many years and are now putting all their experience and love for Brahms and Schumann into a new GENUIN CD. The program includes the three violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms and three violin romances by Clara Schumann – conceivably different works in their scope, yet related in their view of the world and art: romantic treasures, recorded with dedication!

“Dichterliebe” released on Deutsche Grammophon!
Schumann’s haunting song cycle “Dichterliebe” was newly composed by the German composer and conductor Christian Jost and recorded by the Horenstein Ensemble for Deutsche Grammophon.
It links Jost’s work with a recording of Schumann’s original and his Liederkreises op. 39, with the late mezzo-soprano Stella Doufexis.
Jost’s Dichterliebe, sung by the Danish tenor Peter Lodahl and the Horenstein Ensemble, was commissioned by the Konzerthaus Berlin and the Copenhagen Opera Festival.
It premiered in October 2017 in Berlin.
