Description:

Baritone Christian Gerhaherl is now firmly established as one of the best in the German Lieder world. Inheriting the traditional German Lieder singing style of Fischer-Dieskau, he dramatically expresses the emotion and interiority hidden in the poems, and delivers matured musicality. The beautifully clear German diction brings out vividly the thoughts and scenes of the composer in each word. Gerhaherl's Lieder recordings for the Artenova label, which began with the classic "Schubert: The Three Great Lieder," already include the major repertoire of German songs by Schubert, Schumann, Mahler, Brahms, Wolf, and others, and this album is the result of Gerhaherl finally undertaking his This album is the first volume of his big project, "Schumann: The Complete Lieder".Gerhaherl himself has stated that this is "the most important project of my life," and this is literally a recording of his entire career. In the 2000s, Gerhaherl released two highly acclaimed collections of Schumann songs, including "The Poet's Love" and "Leader Kreis," but this complete collection is the definitive recording, reflecting the deepening of Gerhaherl's singing in recent years and his even deeper reading of the score. This first volume consists mainly of "Twelve Poems, Op. 35" by Kellner. The collaboration with Gerold Huber, a childhood friend of Gerhaherr's and one of the best lead accompanists of our time, is a perfect match and should provide a rich and complete collection that reveals the profundity of Schumann's work.Please note that this complete collection is a co-production between Sony Classical, the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation, and the International Leader Center of the Spring Music Festival in Heidelberg.
