August 2016
The light, textured baritone of Florian Boesch finds excellent employment in this Schubert collection, flawlessly accompanied by Malcom Martineau.
August 2016
Boesch confirms himself as the baritone’s answer to pianist Mitsuko Uchida, daring a range of hushed dynamics in Schubert that seem to echo the composer’s reported words: ‘Sometimes it seems as if I do not belong to this world at all.’ … In tandem with the ever-perceptive Malcolm Martineau (a model of clarity, and especially good at animating and colouring Schubert’s bass-lines), Boesch’s concentrated Innigkeit can be haunting, above all in the many songs of loneliness, alienation and sorrowful regret.
August 2016
Boesch has an intrinsically beautiful tone, his diction is exemplary, his control masterly and his dynamic gradations smooth as silk.
7th August 2016
There are lieder singers with more sumptuous voices than Boesch, but few if any with greater musical intelligence, as he showed in his Schöne Müllerin CD, and the voice is strong and richly coloured.
Classical Music August 2016
As [Boesch] has shown in the three song-cycles (Onyx), also with the excellent Martineau, his response to text and almost psychoanalytic insight make for a thrilling recital.
