In Reply to: RE: I've sampled Schumann and Brahms lieder for years, no epiphanies yet. Sampson and Delilah OTOH, posted by jdaniel@jps.net on December 03, 2021 at 20:57:10
There was an abundance of lieder on LP back in the hunting and collecting days. Fortunately, most of it was rather inexpensive. I have a nice collection of Brahms, Schubert, Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann, Wolf, Liszt, Debussy, Faure, Ravel, Poulenc ... song/lieder.
The Elly Ameling and Jessye Norman are great recordings for Brahms inspired epiphanies
More recent recordings would be the Hyperion CDs with Graham Johnson accompanying various singers: Ian Bostridge, Christopher Maltman, Robert Holl, Simon Bode, Angelika Kirchschlager, Christine Schäfer.
Enjoy the music.
Follow Ups:
I love Brahms' piano music, especially the popular and often autumnal Op. 118 and 119.
Any greatest hits from the lieder you'd recommend for a newbie that are similar?
Some of Brahms works for chorus and orchestra are exquisitely beautiful at times but the Motets seemed a bit cold, though I'll try them again someday.
And yes, the piano parts are reminiscent of other works.
Other samples of some that I really like:

Autumnal and deep Goerne, superb recording quality, Eschenbach is subtle and stretched-out in the piano parts (which are very similar to Op. 116-119 period). Not surprising, since the Op. 121 Vier Ernste Gesange are among Brahms' last catalogued works. Goerne is a pre-eminent Lieder singer (baritone).
