• 2:00 PM. The Sunday Feature

  To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Robert Schumann we present:

  The World of Robert Schumann by John C Tibbetts

  A 15-part radio documentary

  (13) Schumann and Heine: The Romantic Irony

  The poems of Heinrich Heine and the music of Robert Schumann were joined together in many of Schumann's finest songs, including the two of the greatest song cycles in music history, the Liederkreis Op 24, and the Dichterliebe Op 48. The texts and the music bespeak what has been described as "The Romantic Irony," i.e., the typically Romantic perception of the disparity between private dreams and ideals and worldly reality - and, in artistic terms, the uneasy and complex fusion of words and music. Song historians Rufus Hallmark and David Ferris and Heine biographer Roger F Cook join distinguished art song/opera singer Thomas Hampson in a detailed examination of these songs and their texts (Pandemonium Productions)
