A compelling distraction for a difficult day.

The settings are by the British composer, David Matthews.

    Well now I want the album.

  • Barbara Collier says:

    What a stunning way to lift one’s spirits after watching “Send in the Clowns” from Washington today.

  • Douglas Beardslee says:

    Thomas Hampson once again stuns and amazes with the sheer beauty and simplicity of his technique; thank you so much!

  • Alistair Hinton says:

    The Ständchen is NOT by David Matthews although other arrangements on the disc are; it’s by Bob Zimmerman. I don’t actually have the disc, so I only knew this because I have it on the authority of David Matthews, who presumably knows…

  • Richard Holroyd says:

    There is an orchestration by David Matthews but it is for full orchestra, this one is for strings.
