"The balance between poetry and music is essential to me," Mark Padmore told the Netherlands' Opus Klassiek. "I don't want people to hear this recital and think it's just Schumann, but it's (Heinrich) Heine as well. The poetry is wonderful and I really wish (for) people to go home and also think a little bit about Heine. To me this makes all the difference between a good performance and a most telling one." One of the great song interpreters of our time, Mark Padmore is perfectly paired with pianist Paul Lewis. "There is in Lewis' playing a strong physicality, a firm connection between his deep thinking about the music and his articulation of it" (Daily Telegraph).
