The Polyphonists - "Liebeslieder, Op. 52, No. 8, Wenn so lind dein Auge mir " (Johannes Brahms)

Johannes Brahms' Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 52, is a collection of charming and intimate love songs for vocal quartet and piano four-hands, blending rich harmonies with lyrical melodies. Published in 1869, this set captures Brahms' mastery of both vocal and pianistic writing, evoking a sense of romance and nostalgia through its elegant waltz rhythms and heartfelt poetry.
The Polyphonists were joined for this performance by pianists Edward Rothmel and Jonathan King.
Audio and video recorded by Blue House Productions in Washington, D.C. in November 2023.

The Polyphonists (puh-LIH-fuh-nists) are a professional vocal ensemble founded from two households: soprano Amy Broadbent & tenor Matthew Hill, and mezzo-soprano Sylvia Leith & bass-baritone Edmund Milly. The word polyphony describes many independent voices interwoven in harmony, and that is our ethos: We are four soloists, but we come together to create music that transcends our individuality.
Since our debut in 2020, The Polyphonists have garnered a steady following and developed a reputation for sophisticated and broad-ranging programming. The Polyphonists were honored as National Finalists for The American Prize in Chamber Music Performance, 2023 (Professional Division), and have been featured in residence at the University of Maryland, Towson University, the University of Oklahoma, & Oklahoma Baptist University. Our repertoire spans from the early Renaissance through the current day, with a commitment to expanding the choral canon by premiering new works and shining a light on lesser-known gems of the repertoire.
