Volume 3 - Die schöne Müllerin


Schubert:

Die schöne Müllerin, D795


Matthias Goerne (baritone) & Christoph Eschenbach (piano)

With Die schöne Müllerin the singer has to free himself from the role of neutral observer and identify with the character of the traveller. Matthias Goerne is supreme in this repertoire, with the acute awareness that disappointment, melancholy and death wish are at the end of the road. The third volume in a Schubertian venture which has already created quite a stir.

“this latest Die schöne Müllerin is a benchmark both in Goerne’s own career, and in the catalogue. For each recording so far, Goerne has chosen a different pianist. This time, the hugely experienced Christoph Eschenbach underwrites the authority and compelling thoughtfulness of this performance from the very start.” BBC Music Magazine *****/*****

“…Eschenbach underwrites the authority and thoughtfulness of this recital from the start. Here is a highly introverted youth, intimately and fatally communing with nature. …Goerne is playing to the strengths of his own voice: its hushed, focused pianissimo, its matchless legato, and its vivid rhythmic articulation.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2009 *****

“…a profoundly considered, deeply felt Schöne Müllerin, freer in expression, more varied in colour than Goerne's Decca recording.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2009
