Bumbry/Glass - Johannes Brahms: Lieder

One of the great and fascinating singers of her day was the 'black Venus' of Bayreuth, GraceBumbry, who demonstrated her exceptionally wide range at the Salzburg Festival with a gripping Lady Macbeth by the Wagner antipode Verdi, as well as with the impressive Lieder recital on this recording, exclusively devoted to the Wagner antipode Brahms � from an age that was more friendly towards Lieder recitals than today.
