As he looks back upon a magnificent singing career, Christophe Prégardien (born 1956) has released these three Schubertian cycles. Over the years, Prégardien has become one of the most recognised and inspired performers of Schubert's works. His discography, however, does not stop at these three pillars of the Lied repertoire. Along with his friend Andreas Staier, he has produced many themed records for the labels deutsche harmonia mundi and Teldec Classics.
This album includes the last recordings made by Prégardien with Michael Gees (Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise) and Andreas Staier (Schwanengesang). With the treble gradually disappearing, Prégardien shifts to using lower tones while retaining his tenor voice. While a certain mannerism has come to mark his performance style, he still retains a great talent for dramatic interpretation of the texts. At the piano, Michael Gees sticks closely to Prégardien and moulds his playing to the singer's every intention.
The pseudo-cycle Schwanengesang (a suite of Lieder assembled arbitrarily after the composer's death) was recorded in 2008 with Andreas Staier, who is playing a modern copy, made by Christopher Clarke, of a Graf pianoforte from 1827. These songs bear the perfect commitment and excellent expressiveness which are the hallmark of Christophe Prégardien's art. © François Hudry/Qobuz
