Matthias Goerne's ongoing survey of Schubert lieder for harmonia mundi has further confirmed his reputation as one of the most gifted exponents of the song repertoire. Goerne does not 'interpret' Schubert, he lives each lied from the inside and invites the listener to share this poetic and musical intimacy. The sixth volume in the series focuses on Schubert's monumental Schwanengesang. This posthumous collection was named by its first publisher, who presented it as Schubert's final musical testament. Also included as a bonus is an unforgettable performance of Schubert's other swan song, the piano sonata D.960, played by one of the baritone's favorite partners, Christoph Eschenbach. |
