Hans Hotter/Gerald Moore - Great German Songs, Album 2 (Seraphim)
The cover incorrectly states that the composers on this album are Schumann, Wolf, and Loewe. They are actually BRAHMS, Wolf and Loewe. 

From Brahms setting of "Wir wandelten" by Daumer:

So schön war alles, was ich dachte, 
so himmlisch heiter war es all.

Looking forward to see Rebecca Maurer perform later this month, although with a totally different program (French harpsichord music from the time of Louis XIV). She plays magnificently.
