Lieder (Berg, Schumann, Wolf, Shostakovich, Brahms)

Matthias Goerne

Classical - Released June 10, 2022 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Choc de Classica
Matthias Goerne not only performs at the highest level as a baritone himself, but his piano accompaniments also rank among the Champions League of classical music. For his first album, which was dedicated to Beethoven songs, he brought Jan Lisiecki on board. This was followed by the album Abendrot with melodies by Wagner and Strauss, among others, together with the young talent Seong-Jin Cho. Now we may experience the baritone in duo with the world-class Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov, presenting us with a metaphysical program of Berg, Schumann, Wolf, Shostakovich and Brahms.The combination of music and poetry was brought to a climax in the form of the Romantic art song by Franz Schubert. The composers presented here build on this tradition, and despite the wide, temporal span of their publications - there are 135 years between Schumann's Dichterliebe and Shostakovich's Michelangelo Suite - the closeness and significance to the text and its authors is equally evident in all of them. Schumann's Dichterliebe is probably one of the best examples of this: the setting of Heinrich Heine's texts brings together two masters of Romanticism who could not be better interpreted by Goerne and Trifonov. Themes of impossible love and human suffering are unfolded through extremes in the monologue as well as the music, with Goerne maintaining this "strong sensitivity" throughout. In the same vein, the unspoken finds its place on the piano and takes on much more than just an accompanying role in his interpretation - as well as in art song in general. Trifonov is in direct musical dialogue with Goerne, the two artists communicating at eye level.A similar symbiosis is evident in the Michelangelo musical settings by Wolf and Shostakovich. By abandoning tonality in the latter, the connection between piano and spoken word is again reinforced on another level. A unique duo project by two contemporary greats whose paths will hopefully cross more often. © Lena Germann/Qobuz

Schumann : Dichterliebe

Julian Prégardien

Lieder (German) - Released April 19, 2019 | Alpha Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
Julian Prégardien decided to record the Dichterliebe cycle after he came across the new Bärenreiter edition; he went on to explore the work in concerts with his constant accompanist, Eric Le Sage, inserting other works by Robert and also by Clara Schumann, whose bicentenary is celebrated in 2019. When Clara played the Dichterliebe in the 1860s, she used to slip extracts from Kreisleriana between the songs. Prégardien asked Eric Le Sage to record the same extracts on a Blüthner piano of 1856, the year of Robert’s death, and also to include Romances composed by both Robert and Clara at a time when their future marriage was still uncertain. The sublime ballade Löwenbraut also forms part of the programme – a reminder of the young Robert’s anguish on Clara’s departure. At Julien’s suggestion, Sandrine Piau was invited to sing three duets: a simple Canon composed by Clara, and two duets by Robert, Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär, and the sublime In der Nacht. Four further songs complete the recording: Sängers Trost, a short piece in belcanto style; Kurzes Erwachen, composed by Robert at the age of just eighteen; Aus den hebräischen Gesängen, a very melancholy song; an extract from the cycle Myrthen (Robert’s wedding present to Clara); and Mein Wagen rollet langsam, a song that was included in the composer’s first version of Dichterliebe. The Dichterliebe songs micht have been expected to show Schumann triumphantly rejoicing in that year of 1840 when he was finally able to marry Clara; and yet they are characterised by bitter irony, nostalgic Sehnsucht, and a sense of dread… © Alpha Classics

A Poet's Love, Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet - Schumann: Dichterliebe

Timothy Ridout

Duets - Released August 20, 2021 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
In this debut recording for harmonia mundi, the young viola prodigy Timothy Ridout and his musical accomplice Frank Dupree celebrate the power of love, with selections from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, performed in Borisovsky’s popular arrangement, and with their own transcription of Schumann’s Dichterliebe. The voice of the heart and the soul of candour, here the viola displays an astonishing range of emotions and expressive colours – from boisterous to tender or introspective in the Prokofiev excerpts, while also mirroring the myriad nuances of Heine’s poems in Schumann’s sublime musical love letter to his Clara. © harmonia mundi

Schumann: Dichterliebe

Christian Gerhaher

Classical - Released August 1, 2004 | RCA Red Seal

Christian Gerhaher is the latest in a long line of expressive and intelligent baritones who have made a specialty of German lieder. With recordings of Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, Brahms' Vier ernste Gesänge, and Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin, Winterreise, and Schwanengesang already to his credit, Gerhaher has already cut a considerable swath through the standard repertoire of German lieder. With this disc of Schumann's setting of Heine's Dichterliebe and of Lenau's poems grouped as a funeral tombeau, Gerhaher has chosen poems about love, madness, and death by the most literate and arguably the most romantic of the German lieder composers. Gerhaher has an appealing voice: strong and agile with a warm tone and a round sound. Gerhaher has a fine sense of the emotions expressed in the music from the heartfelt irony of the Heine lieder to the attenuated sentimentality of the Lenau lieder. And Gerhaher has a firm grasp of the symbiosis of words and music and the levels of meaning commingled in their fusion. If Gerhaher's performances have a flaw, it is his ambition to do it all right now, to infuse his performances with so much significance that they nearly sink under their own interpretive weight. RCA's sound is big and close but perhaps too intimate.© TiVo
