The ‘Romantic' set honours the great masters of European Romanticism, Beethoven, Hummel, Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, and Brahms. Here we range widely over the spirit of the nineteenth century, with solo vocal music, sacred choral works and chamber music, focusing on such masterpieces of the repertoire as Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, Brahms's German Requiem, the lieder of Schumann, and the Nocturnes and Preludes of Chopin. An unforgettable journey to the heart of Romantic passion and sensibility! These titles were originally released between 1980 and 2010.
