Baritone Raoul Steffani undertakes his CD debut, accompanied by Gerald
Huber, with a collection of early songs by some major Lieder composers:
Schumann, Grieg, Sibelius and Berg.
Many songs on this album have one thing in common: they are mainly early
compositions, in some cases even the first songs these composers wrote.
They all have a certain spontaneity and freshness which shows that the
young men who composed them were still at the beginning of their
careers, full of dreams and hopes for the future. Thus, not
surprisingly, many of the songs are also about dreams, totally in the
spirit of the true romantic soul.
Dutch baritone Raoul Steffani, born in 1992, has quickly established
himself as one of the leading singers of his generation. He was already
awarded several prizes and undertaken masterclasses with Lieder masters
such as Thomas Hampson, Christa Ludwig and Elly Ameling. Steffani won
the Dutch Grachtenfestival award 2018 and will be Artist in Residence
during the Grachtenfestival in 2019.
