Like the Sky in Rome - A Journey to Italy in Songs by Franz Liszt

With this CD, Clemens Müller and I-chiao Shih are championing the work of a great but wrongfully neglected Lieder composer: Franz Liszt!

And when we hear the warmth of Shih's voice and Müller's sensitive piano accompaniment, there is no doubt in our minds that Liszt, up on his cloud, is applauding in approval. Fans of art song take note: each Lied is more beautiful than the next, and we can easily get hooked
