Especially in the case of a tenor, I found myself wondering—‘Is his voice still up to par?’ ‘Does he still live up to his former glory?’—as I tentatively made my way into the hall. Ernst Höfflinger’s *Winterreise*. It was a magnificent Schubert performance that completely dispelled all my mundane concerns. I bowed my head in reverence and listened intently to his single-minded spirit of inquiry, which reminded me of a master kendo instructor (September 8, 1991 \/ Tokyo Casals Hall).\n[From the liner notes by Masashi Isoyama]\nThis is a live recording from the 1991 Japan tour by the renowned tenor Ernst Höfflinger. His “voice of the soul,” which belies his age, draws the listener into Schubert’s world. Tomoko Okada, who has long supported Höfflinger’s performing career, provides excellent piano accompaniment.\nCamerata Tokyo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Camerata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595492253985,"sku":"4990355002926","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4990355002926.jpg?v=1790481332","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4990355002926","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
