Programme Note
Unquestionably one of today’s most sought-after Lieder interpreters returns in a programme concluding with posthumous collection known as Schubert’s Swansong. ‘The brilliance of this fine baritone,’ suggested Classical Source of a previous Wigmore traversal, ‘is to pinpoint any and all of the nebulous connections between the songs, and to use these as stones upon which to build an overarching interpretation. The result is the most cohesive account of Schwanengesang I have yet heard.’
