Jonas Kaufmann (tenor) & Helmut Deutsch (piano) Rising tenor superstar Jonas Kaufmann tackles one of Schubert’s finest song cycles. Kaufmann has established himself as the most successful and versatile tenor of his generation, attracting rave reviews for his live performances and recordings. This new album is his third recital disc on Decca, following his acclaimed debut album ‘Romantic Arias’, followed by ‘Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Wagner’. “He has burst upon the international scene as a fully mature, major artist. And "artist" with Kaufmann means the full deal...” (Gramophone) “ I doubt that Schubert’s cycle, purely in vocal terms, has been more thrillingly sung on disc since Fritz Wunderlich...[Kaufmann's] diction and eloquence in German is immaculate [...] This version of Schubert’s masterpiece [is] one of the most compelling in recent years.” Sunday Times, 24th January 2010 ***** “One of the greatest accounts of Die Schöne Müllerin on disc...It's big in scale: Kaufmann's soft singing is exquisite, but his voice isn't small and there are moments when he and Deutsch really let rip in their quest for expressive veracity...Not for the faint-hearted, but highly recommended.” The Guardian, 11th February 2010 ***** “an interpretation solidly centred on a simple and powerful emotional arc. Unlike some singers, Kaufmann doesn’t darken the narrative from the beginning, a decision that only enlarges the devastation wrought by the hero’s journey from bliss to despair.” The Times, 19th February 2010 **** |
