Description:
Du bist die Welt für mich - a glittering world of operetta and popular hits. Jonas Kaufmann, the twenty-first century's "King of Tenors", sings his way through a golden age of songs of love and pleasure. Jonas Kaufmann, the superstar tenor whose dark, romantic and powerfully resilient voice is in demand across the world, presents his third studio recording since moving to Sony Classical: a collection of operetta numbers and popular songs from the golden decade of 1925-35, when this repertoire swept across Germany and the rest of Europe. In the early twentieth century the operettas of Lehár and Kálmán conquered Berlin and Vienna with their beautiful, immediately appealing songs and dances, and they can be regarded as the prototype of the musical, which developed in America after being imported there from the middle of the century. The arrival of talking pictures brought a flood of films with songs and music, some of them explosive hits. Sung in their day by such popular tenors as Richard Tauber, Joseph Schmidt and Jan Kiepura, these songs reflect the glamour and nostalgia of a German golden age at its musical and cultural height, on the very brink of the Second World War. That is surely why the programme also includes "Glück, das mir verblieb", the most famous aria from Korngold's Die tote Stadt, an opera which has been staged repeatedly in Japan as well. The album is Kaufmann's homage to that late-flowering golden age, sung with real conviction and fire. The concept came to him in August 2011, at a gala concert at the Waldbühne in Berlin where he appeared alongside Anna Netrebko and Erwin Schrott. Three years of research into the repertoire followed before the recording was made in 2014. He was especially insistent on performing the songs as their composers originally conceived them, rather than in later arrangements. The programme includes his regular encores "Du bist die Welt für mich" and "Ein Lied geht um die Welt". The recording was made at the Funkhaus Nalepastraße in Berlin, familiar from Paavo Järvi's recordings with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie: a large hall with excellent acoustics inside the former East German state broadcasting complex. Soprano Julia Kleiter joins Kaufmann in three numbers. Sony Music
