About

At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the lied increasingly took on orchestral garb. The boundary with opera became almost impalpable. That is what Samuel Hasselhorn and Łukasz Borowicz demonstrate here, in a splendid programme mingling smiles and disillusionment, where some of the most characteristic orchestral lieder and operatic arias of this Austro-German ‘fin de siècle’ era blend perfectly together.

September 2024

This is lushly upholstered weltschmerz in the high Late Romantic manner and essentially Viennese which is fitting for an artist who launched his career at the city’s Staatsoper...A baritone in the heroic manner, Hasselhorn delivers Mahler’s ‘Revelge’ with crisp military attack.

July 2024

The versatile German singer shades the natural warmth and burnished resonance of his baritone to accentuate the different kinds of bitterness Mahler composes into ‘Revelge’ and ‘Um Mitternacht’ or the radiant yearning of the selections from Korngold and Zemlinsky.

Limelight Magazine July 2024

Here is a remarkable disc, whose marriage of artist and repertoire must have been made in some mythical, musical heaven...his instrument is still at its freshest, youthful peak, full of subtle timbral variations and sensitive, intelligent delivery of text.
