Schubert Revisited: Lieder Arranged for Baritone and Orchestra
Matthias Goerne
Classical - Released January 6, 2023 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)
Hi-Res
Booklet
Pianist Alexander Schmalcz has performed alongside many famous singers during his career and is also a talented arranger. At the request of Matthias Goerne, he orchestrated Schubert’s lieder in the spirit of similar works by Berlioz, Reger, Liszt and Webern. Matthias Goerne has performed these orchestrations in numerous concerts, both in Europe and in New York, as part of the Mostly Mozart Festival.Schmalcz’s arrangements are both rigorous and conscientious. They’re perfect for Matthias Goerne’s dark tone, which is particularly graceful on this recording made in October 2019 with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Over the years, the German baritone’s voice has become even more well-rounded, finding deep golden bass tones.The orchestration gives these 20 lieder exceptional weight, further emphasised by the mellowness of the strings, the darkness of the trombones and the sometimes ominous use of the timpani. This orchestration plunges Schubert’s music into a romantic universe similar to lieder by Brahms and even Wolf, especially in Songs of the harpist (Gesänge des Harfners), The Erl-King (Erlkönig) and the famous lieder Death and the maiden (Der Tod und das Mädchen). The anachronism of these arrangements is magnified by the silky accompaniment of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Matthias Goerne’s stunning vocals. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Schubert: Lieder (Vol. 1)
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
Classical - Released January 1, 1970 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)
So it's not complete: Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau couldn't sing all the exquisite songs intended for women and wouldn't sing all the interminable ballades. But that's fine: there are plenty of great recordings of the songs for women and if anyone really wants to hear the ballades, there's Graham Johnson's superb Schubert edition. But, aside from those small quibbles, Fischer-Dieskau's ten-disc set of Schubert's songs from 1811 through 1817 is as complete as it needs to be and as great as humanly possible. That Fischer-Dieskau is the voice of German Lieder in later years is beyond argument. That he was the greatest singer of Schubert's Lieder is beyond question. That this set of performances is a labor of heart, mind, soul, and spirit is beyond doubt. That it is one of the greatest sets of recordings ever made fit to stand beside Furtwängler's Tristan, Sinatra's Only the Lonely, and the Beatles' Abbey Road is one of the immutable truths of recording history. Anyone who loves Schubert should hear this set.© TiVo
