Florian Boesch (baritone) & Malcolm Martineau (piano) ONYX is proud to present an exceptional Schumann recital by the outstanding Austrian baritone Florian Boesch. The recital consists of the greatest Heine settings, the op24 Liederkreis, plus many of the great Romances and Ballads including Belshazzar (Belsatzar). Boesch is rapidly becoming known as one of the most truthfully dramatic lieder interpreters of our day, and made a sensational debut at the Edinburgh Festival in 2005 with Martineau. Florian Boesch studied in Vienna with Robert Holl. In 2003 he made his operatic debut with Opernhaus Zürich as Papageno, and is now working with many of the world’s greatest conductors including Gergiev, Bychkov, Harnoncourt, Herreweghe, Viotti and Adam Fischer. Despite his opera work he is perhaps unusual in devoting much of his time to lieder with performances at London’s Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Edinburgh Festival, Mozarteum Salzburg, Wiener Konzerthaus, Palais des Beaux-Arts Brussels, the Schubertiade Festival Schwarzenberg. “The Austrian baritone opens with an exquisitely gauged Liederkreis, Op 24, full of subtle emotional twists and turns. The rest is a carefully varied selection of settings of words by Heine.” Sunday Times, 3rd May 2009 **** “Having an accompanist as perceptive and exquisitely musical as Malcolm Martineau is a big asset, these are lieder performances of very high quality indeed.” The Guardian, 1st May 2009 **** “There is much to enjoy in Boesch's dramatic, intensely "lived" performances, and in the imaginative playing of Malcolm Martineau (ultra-sensitive in Schumann's secretive piano postludes).” Gramophone , Awards 2009 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Gerald Finley (baritone) & Julius Drake (piano) Why another Dichterliebe recording? Because Gerald Finley has simply one of the greatest voices of his generation, and is an artist at the peak of his powers. He brings to this noble song cycle the supreme technical ability and penetrating musical understanding that characterize all his performances, whether on the concert platform, in the recording studio or on the great opera stages of the world. This is his fourth disc with collaborator Julius Drake, and the partnership has proved to be a uniquely rewarding one. This fine recital also includes many of Schumann’s other Heine settings. The extremes of elation and despair in Heine’s poetry stimulated Schumann to write some of his most poignant and unforgettable songs. This is truly a disc to treasure. “[Finley] brings eloquence to the text and maturity to his interpretations, but with a still youthful-sounding voice. Darker and more “bassy” of tone than Dieskau, he is especially impressive in the sardonic and bitter songs...Finley is a gripping narrator, too, in the tale of Belshazzar’s feast, and can refine his voice to the most arresting of internalised confidences in the love songs to Clare Wieck.” Sunday Times, 14th September 2008 **** “Finley is a much less knowing, more direct performer than Fischer-Dieskau, concentrating less on precise verbal nuance (though his German diction is wonderfully clear) than on more generalised expressive contours, but the effect is still overwhelmingly powerful.” Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 5th September 2008 ***** “Doubts as to whether the world needs yet another Dichterliebe are allayed by a performance that probes the extremes of Schumann's evocation of remembered, blighted love. Gerald Finley's burnished baritone is one of the most beautiful voices to have recorded the cycle.” The Telegraph, 6th September 2008 “Finley's performance gives huge pleasure and insight…” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 **** “In close collusion with the ever-sentient Julius Drake, Gerald Finley gives one of the most beautifully sung an intensely experience performances on dic of Schumann's cycle of rapture, disillusion and tender regret. This is a Dichterliebe firmly in the past tense, the poet-lover achingly resigned from the outset. Singer and pianist are just as compelling in the other Heine settings here.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Wolfgang Holzmair (baritone), Imogen Cooper (piano) Wolfgang Holzmair and Imogen Cooper's lieder partnership is the stuff of dreams and their traversal of the Schumann repertoire has won them international plaudits both, for performance as well as the sound engineering on these Philips recordings. Here, brought together for the first time as a collection, is their complete traversal of a vast selection of Robert Schumann's lieder, including all the cycles - the two sets of Liederkreis, the 'Kerner Lieder' and Dichterliebe. Included too are individual songs to poems by Heine and Ruckert, as well as a selection of Myrthen. Two songs Rose, Meer und Sonne, Op. 37 No. 9 and Aus den ostlichen Rosen, Op. 25 No. 25, only appeared previously as part of an Imogen Cooper anthology and are here included to well and truly complete the duo's Schumann survey. “I was transfixed by the sheer artistry... Rarely have I heard so sensitive, intelligent and gloriously musical a partnership... no one could have asked for more attentive, detailed expressions nor more complete harmony of feeling between singer and pianist” The Independent “Singer and pianist work together almost by instinct in thinking themselves into the very heart of these songs... Holzmair's plangent, very Viennese voice bespeaks the vulnerability that lies at the soul of Robert's Eusebius side, heard to mesmeric effect in the great, slower songs of Op 35, but he is just as capable of tramping the ways with Schumann when he is in his Florestan mood.... [Imogen Cooper's] playing throughout the programme is at once supportive of her partner and individual in itself. The recording is faultless” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Ulf Bastlein (bass-baritone), Stefan Laux (piano) Drawing upon the greatest poets of his generation, Schumann’s Lieder are among the most perfect works of German art – capturing the most intimate feelings with honesty and self-realization. Bass-Baritone Ulf Bästlein has devoted much of his time to (re-) discovering and studying the German Lied repertoire from the eighteenth century to today and to making it known through his recitals to a wider public. The Lieder Festival he has established (in Husum), his masterclasses in Germany and abroad as well as his numerous CD recordings demonstrate his fascination with this very intimate musical form. This is his debut recording on Hänssler classic. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
