Inhalt: |
There is no better repertoire with which to display a leider singer than the Schubert Song CycIes. For this release, baritone Hermann Prey tackles Schuberts Die Schone Mullerin, Schwanengesang accompanied by Leonard Hokanson and Winterreise accompanied by HeImut Deutsch. As a bonus, this release includes an interview with Prey on these song cycles and a documentary on the artist. ln his finest interpretations Hermann Prey sang Winterreise and Die schone MulIerin with a captivatingIy natural phrasing that fIowed organicalIy Iike a river and as such was the very opposite of the more intellectual approach of his rival, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. (Die Zeit online) The velvety, siIky timbre of his soft-grained and yet distinctively striking baritone voice, his charm, his exceIIent diction and the naturaIness of his deIivery spiced with a hint of emotion- it is alI this that distinguishes the truly outstanding lieder singer.
