2010 Gramophone Awards Shortlist: Solo Vocal
Gramophone Editor's Choice - Febraury 2010
In such repertoire Goerne’s mellow, darkly rounded timbre, expressive diction and care for a true, ‘bound’ line are well night ideal.’ Gramophone
‘Even the lesser Schubert Lieder become gems from Goerne’s velvet baritone.’ The Times
‘With his rich and exceptionally mellifluous voice, which, depending on a song’s mood, can be as bright as autumn sunlight or as dark as a moonless night, Goerne and his accompanists are ever-intelligent interpreters, with impeccable phrasing, intonation, and rhythmic sense.’ The Absolute Sound
‘Matthias Goerne is fast becoming the Fischer-Dieskau auf his generation, the standard-setting singer of the central lieder repertoire.’ International Record Review
