Samen met zijn vaste begeleider Gerold Huber nam bariton Christian Gerhaher al vele met prijzen bekroonde albums op, waaronder ook de grote liederencycli van Schubert. Veertien jaar nadat zij voor het eerst Die schöne Müllerin opnamen, volgt nu een nieuwe opname, waarbij ook de vijf gedichten die Schubert niet toonzette worden voorgelezen door Gerhaher. Deze nieuwe versie is allerminst overbodig, getuige alleen al het ingetogen gezongen Die liebe Farbe.
Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin, D795
Christian Gerhaher (baritone), Gerold Huber (piano)
14 years after his first recording, the acclaimed baritone and "most moving singer of the world" (The Telegraph) turns back to Die schöne Müllerin together with long-time collaborator and pianist: Gerold Huber.
Die schöne Müllerin has always been seen as the most important lieder cycle because of its full-length narrative dimension based on a popular and rather simple story: a disillusioned love between a miller's daughter and a young miller's apprentice.
With this new recording of Die schöne Müllerin including five poems, not set to music by Schubert, Christian Gerhaher turns Schubert's famous song cycle with new insights and a new approach.
Christian Gerhaher gives insights of his new interpretation in the booklet he wrote especially for this release.
