Some 40 years ago, following a decades-long precipitous drop in reputation and performance frequency of his once-heralded 19th c. Grand Operas, a Giacomo Meyerbeer revival or reassessment of him and these works took hold, which also arose with his other œuvre, including his 83 art songs, 25 of which are presented here by soprano Andrea Chudak and German-Kazakh pianist and conductor Andreas Schulz. With a knack for lilting melodies and the occasional rousing tune, Meyerbeer was equally at home with a fast gallop tempo, sentimental romances as well as little waltzes.
