(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have only listened to a few some of the songs on this album, but it is evident to me that this is an exceptional album and as it has not yet been reviewed, I want to give it 5 stars so that others will know this one is worth listening to. Holzmair has a beautiful voice and a genuine feel for the music. There is nothing affected here, which to me is important in lieder. And Imogen Cooper's accommpaniment is exceptional. What a perfectly matched pair! (they even look great together; see the inside of the accompanying booklet). Try listening to track 18 "Spring Night". What eagerness in his voice and in the piano accompanyment!

"Over the gardens, through the breezes....I heard the travelling birds returning,...hearlding the scents of spring;...down below, the flowers are already opening....I could rejoice, I could weep: I cna hardly believe it is true! The old miracles worked again by the light of the moon...And the stars say it, and the grove whispers in its sleep and the nightingales sing it: she is yours! she's yours!"

Or listen to track #11 (Moonlight Night)...."And my soul spread its wings and stretched them wide and flew through the quiet land as if flying home.....". I only know Schubert (and why he never set Eichendorff to music only God knows as Eichendorff was apparently a contemporary and his poetry is as well suited to Schubert's ouvre as any) but am investigating Schumann. The other lieder I am not familiar with but I believe this CD is a great way to begin."
