Grammy Award-winning tenor Karim Sulayman and fortepianist Yi-heng Yang transport the listener to Where Only Stars Can Hear Us with this album of songs by Franz Schubert that encapsulates emotions of joy and sorrow, darkness and light. In life and music, Grammy Award-winning tenor Karim Sulayman is a master storyteller. Where Only Stars Can Hear Us is a journey through the songs of Franz Schubert, a composer who was able to capture joy and sorrow in a single moment like no other. Karim's voyage traverses themes of darkness and yearning, guided throughout by moonbeams and shining stars. His partner is historical keyboardist Yi-heng Yang who plays on a fortepiano built by Joseph Simon in Vienna in 1830, adding an air of authenticity from Schubert's time.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM: "lucid, velvety tenor and pop-star charisma" BBC Music Magazine

"a pianist of "astonishing skill and vividness" The New York Times

"I could go on with detailed analyses of every song but find it unnecessary and leave it to the individual listener to explore the contents on their own and savour the exceptional sensitivity of Karim Sulayman and Yi-heng Yang. Now I'm eagerly waiting for their next recording project, which I hope will appear before long." MusicWeb Recommended May 2020
