About
The fifth exquisite Schubert Lieder recording for harmonia mundi from German baritone Matthias Goerne, a protégé of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. ‘Matthias Goerne is fast becoming the Fischer-Dieskau auf his generation, the standard-setting singer of the central lieder repertoire.’ (International Record Review). ‘In such repertoire Goerne’s mellow, darkly rounded timbre, expressive diction and care for a true, “bound” line are well nigh ideal.’ (Gramophone). ‘Even the lesser Schubert Lieder become gems from Goerne’s velvet baritone.’ (The Times).

his velvet baritone and faultless breath control [are perfectly suited] to the evocation of enveloping physical and existential darkness, and the light of the moon...Goerne compellingly exploits his bass register for the gravedigger's desperation and fear in Totengräbers Heimweh, and vividly characterises the dichotomy between pastoral and military life in Der Schäfer und der Reiter.

From the first bars of Nacht und Träume it is clear that we are in the presence of two artists in deep sympathy both with the music and with each other...This is a lovely recital, Goerne's intelligence, grace and lack of ostentation giving each song its due, with admirable support from Schmalcz.

This is a selection of Schubert’s lieder, sung by Matthias Goerne with exquisite artistry.
