The third album from German soprano Ute Ziemer, who received her training from the university of music in Vienna as well as from Ruthilde Boesch and the unforgettable Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, brings the focus to the theme of the child.

Joined by pianist Julian Riem, equally a master of the song repertoire, Ziemer performs romantic works from the Volks-Kinderlieder by Johannes Brahms, by Robert Schumann, Max Reger and Hugo Wolf, as well as classics by W A Mozart, Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn.

Less well-known children's songs and lullabies by Hermann Zilcher, Yrjö Kilpinen, Gaetano Donizetti, Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss are also included.
