The composer Ludwig Thuille (1861-1907) is today almost completely forgotten, which is unfortunate as he is an interesting and surprisingly original composer in his own right. Stylistically Thuille is an unashamed romantic steeped in the German tradition. First and foremost a master of smaller genres, as his Lieder for singer and piano set to music on poems from the German romantic poets indicates. The American soprano Rebecca Broberg, German baritone Martin Schmidt and pianist Rainer Klaas bring audible joy to these delightful works that close a real gap in the repertoire.
