Wesseling sings Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger and Alma Mahler

This is her third album for Claves. She is riding on the wave of a flourishing career, highlighted at the moment by brilliant performances at the Paris Opera in collaboration with conductor Marc Minkowski. Mezzo-soprano Maria Riccarda Wesseling from the Grisons in Switzerland has chosen the intimacy of song to spotlight another facet of her superb voice. Accompanied by pianist Nathalie Dang, she performs works by three exceptional women composers: Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger and Alma Mahler. A work of pure poetry captured on recording by Radio Suisse Romande – Espace 2 in Geneva last spring, the CD is accompanied by liner notes penned by writer Etienne Barilier.
