Rezension bezieht sich auf: Dichterliebe (Audio CD) Please excuse my English. The U. S. Amazon site has no musical excerpts for this disc, so I referred a friend to this site instead. Then I noticed the reviews. Obviously, there is a single individual who consistently gives Gerhaher bad notices, so I'd like to add my own judgment for balance. Gerhaher is a superb talent. I heard his New York recital debut at the Frick Museum a few years back, and it was most impressive. He has several other excellent Lieder recordings as well, but this is perhaps the best. It certainly has been well honored in the musical press, with rave reviews from Opera News, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, etc. Gerhaher has intelligence to burn, but he also makes an immediate, personal, and passionate connection with this music. Throughout the performance there are small details that are fresh and engaging, the product of his own original musical mind. All in all, a wonderful insight into Schumann by an exciting new singer, and the accompanist Gerold Huber is similarly fine. Listen for yourself.
