L’AMOUR ET LA VIE D’UNE FEMME ANA CASEIRO( soprano), PEDRO COSTA( pian

"The love and life of a woman" is one of the most famous Lied cycles by Robert Schumann. With this thematic in mind, Ana Caseiro and Pedro Costa present a whole Lied-Recital dedicated to songs about different types and stories of women throughout history: the madness of Ophelia set to music by Richard Strauss, the lovely poetry of Louise de Vilmorin in Poulenc’s songs, the innocence of a little girl in Bernstein's charming music, the redemption of a young nun in Schubert’s Lied and the description of the life and (old fashioned) love of a woman in Schumann's cycle.
