Fatma Said's third album, Lieder, is a deeply personal tribute to the art of German Song, showcasing her profound connection to this beloved genre. As a soprano who has immersed herself in lieder since the age of 18, Fatma brings a unique expression and understanding to these timeless pieces. Joined by esteemed pianists Malcolm Martineau and Joseph Middleton, as well as special guests including clarinettist Sabine Meyer and baritone Huw Montague Rendall, this album is a masterful collection of favourite lieder by Schubert, Brahms, and Schumann.
With a repertoire that spans the Romantic era, Lieder features a range of iconic works, including Schubert's Ständchen and Der Zwerg, Mendelssohn's Hexenlied and Suleika, and Brahms' Lerchengesang and Ophelia-Lieder. Fatma's voice shines throughout, bringing a sense of intimacy and nuance to each piece. The result is an album that is both a testament to the enduring power of German Song and a deeply personal reflection of Fatma's own musical journey.
Released on Warner Classics, Lieder is a must-listen for fans of classical music and lieder enthusiasts alike. With its release on 11 April 2025, this album is set to delight audiences with its beauty, elegance, and emotional depth.
