Two great song cycles with two outstanding young singers. Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été (Summer Nights) explores different aspects of romantic love in music of exquisite beauty and poise, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes intensely passionate.

Schumann’s less well-known Myrthen (Myrtles), sung here in a new translation by Jeremy Sams, dates from 1840, the year in which he composed many of his most famous songs, coinciding with the culmination of his love affair with his future wife, Clara Wieck. Myrthen was his wedding gift to her – a wedding wreath consisting of 26 settings of texts on scenes from married life, including flirtation, parenthood, separation and also deep inward reflection.
