After three critically-acclaimed recordings for ATMA Classique, the Berlin-born tenor Jan Kobow returns with Schwanengesang, a recording devoted to the lieder of Schubert and Mendelssohn. Kobow’s strong affinity for lied, particularly German art song of the romantic period, makes this release especially noteworthy. The great power of Schubert’s Schwanengesang, composed shortly before his death, is that it represents a new way of conceiving lieder, where the text finds its true meaning only when set to music. Mendelssohn’s six lieder on texts by Heinrich Heine are also included. | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |
