For his debut OehmsClassics release, Sebastian Noack has selected Lieder to poems of Heinrich Heine set to music by Robert Schumann. The 30 titles also include Dichterliebe as well as the four Lieder to texts by Justinus Kerner but withdrawn before these works went to press. An extensive text on the transpositions of the Lieder by Max Friedländer (1852–1934) is in the accompanying booklet. Berlin-born Sebastian Noack studied voice at the Academy of the Arts in Berlin. Alongside his extensive concert and operatic activities, he is a guest professor at Berlin’s Hanns Eisler Academy of Music.
