“The main purpose of this frustratingly fragmentary and unevenly mastered compilation of Lieder treasure seems to be to give a sampler tasting of the young Fischer-Dieskau in the 1950s, with a varied palette of accompanists.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2010 **** “The voice is again in finest condition, the art wonderfully flexible in its transitions from light-heartedness to the intensity of despair. The Liederkreis songs include a magical "Mondnacht" and a vividly "faced" "Im Walde". The Brahms group opens with Feldeinsamkeit, masterly in control, technical and expressive. The remastered sound is very immediate, sometimes almost uncomfortably so, but the impression is strong, probably ineffaceable.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2009 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Schubert - Schwanengesang & Lieder
Dietrich Henschel, acknowledged as one of today’s foremost interpreters of the lied, records a stunning programme of Schubert lieder, including his posthumously issued collection of lieder known as ‘Schwanengesang’, accompanied by award-winning pianist, Fritz Schwinghammer. The recital touches on the very essence of the Romantic soul, somewhere between bitter dreams and heartrending sorrows. Schwanengesang, a collection of 14 songs published shortly after his death, are considered some of Schubert’s most tragic songs, offering the listener an arresting concentration of the composer’s imaginative universe and his obsessions: departure, the death of the beloved, amorous reveries. The set of songs accompanying this great cycle, sees Schubert explore one of the prevailing features of early German Romanticism: a longing for a better world, one that is lost forever. In doing so, he draws on the mythological poems of Goethe, Schiller and Mayrhofer. German baritone Dietrich Henschel is acknowledged as one of today’s foremost interpreters of the lied, and is invited all over the world with the pianists Fritz Schwinghammer, Helmut Deutsch and Michael Schäfer. His substantial discography features lieder and song cycles by Mahler, Wolf, Schubert, Korngold, and Beethoven, as well as Busoni’s Doktor Faust which won a Grammy Award. “In this studio account of Schubert's final song collection...there is still an enormous amount to admire - in the way that Henschel colours every line individually and, unlike some celebrated lieder baritones of today, never applies a uniform expressivity to everything he sings, and in the fine-grained expressive nuances with which he weights the meaning and significance of every word.” The Guardian, 31st July 2009 *** “[Henschel's] voice is as flexible as ever, rich and commanding one moment and drained of all colour the next. Henschel and Schwinghammer convince us that this is no mere random selection of songs gathered after Schubert's death, as some believe, but a dramatic narrative that demands our attention.” The Observer, 26th July 2009 “Dietrich Henschel studied with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and the latter’s stamp is clearly imprinted on his singing of Schubert’s last song-cycle. Henschel is never less than elegant, virile and intelligent.” The Telegraph, 11th August 2009 *** “You couldn’t call Henschel’s bass-baritone voice suave, but his reedy tone can be very expressive when applied to songs of anguish. There are plenty of those in Schubert’s posthumous lieder collection.” The Times, 1st August 2009 *** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | David Levine plays Schubert
Schubert is the last great composer whose output reserves an honoured place for the piano sonata. He composed his last three sonatas in the autumn of 1828, when at the height of his powers, and some six weeks before his death on 19 November. The penultimate Sonata in A major, D 959, is one of the most delicate, and imbued with the spirit of the Lied; it opens with an assured Allegro, its texture softened by the triplets which dominate and eventually conclude the movement. The element of fantasy evident in the intensely-felt development section is found again in the central part of the sadly swaying Andantino, compared by Brahms to a sorrowing lullaby. After the Scherzo and trio, the sonata ends with a sonata-form rondo marked Allegretto. Dated 26 September 1828, the final Sonata in B flat, D 960, a masterpiece among masterpieces, is marked by serenity and resignation. Its amplitude goes hand in hand with a great simplicity, as in the sublimely moving, heart-rending Andante sostenuto. After the tenderness and refinement of the scherzo comes a finale which blends rondo and sonata form, crowning this work like the last rays of sun in a life shortly destined to come to an end. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
