Matthias Goerne has received worldwide praise for his warm, fl uid baritone and his profound interpretations. Highly respected as a Lieder singer, he is a frequent guest at renowned festivals and prestigious venues like the Carnegie and Wigmore Halls. Goerne has embarked on an ambitious eleven disc Schubert Edition for harmonia mundi, which will be framed by concerts in important venues all over the world. This month marks the release of the second volume in the series.
The repertoire speaks of death, the ‘Wanderer’ and of the relationship between Schubert and his poets. For this occasion the singer has called on two traveling companions who have left a lasting artistic impression on the world of lieder and Helmut Deutsch began his career as accompanist for Irmgard Seefried. He also spent twelve years in an intensive collaboration with Hermann Prey and has been the partner of many other celebrated singers.
Eric Schneider has appeared notably with Christine Schafer, Christiane Oelze and Stephan Genz. He is a regular guest with these partners at the Schwarzenberg Schubertiade, Salzburg Festival and the Tanglewood Summer Music Festival.
“Goerne sings with consummate musicality, and his exquisite readings are unsurpassed.” American Record Guide ( harmonia mundi )
