About

Korngold left around 40 songs, composed between 1911 and 1952. This recording contains many first recordings, including songs transcribed from the manuscripts and performed here for the very first time, back in 2002.

"The vocal and stylistic range required is colossal, and baritone Dietrich Henschel confirms his status as today's most versatile lieder singer in performances that combine passion with tenderness, and sensuality with urbane wit. Helmut Deutsch is exemplary as his accompanist." - Tim Ashley, The Guardian, 4 October 2002*****

"Baritone Dietrich Henschel possesses a combination of richness and directness of voice and articulate enunciation that recalls Fischer-Dieskau." - Edward Bhesania, The Observer, 20 October 2002

"This unique survey of songs by Erich Korngold, sung by Dietrich Henschel, is one of the most exciting releases to come out of the Harmonia Mundi stable in recent months... Many of the pre-American songs in this comprehensive recording - the radical Drei Lieder, Op 18, for instance - seem a world away from the filmic Op 38 of 1948. Even more sensational is the delicious abandon of the Op 5 songs, written at the age of 14 for his father’s birthday, and littered with unmistakable premonitions of the film career that lay ahead." - ***** Kenneth Walton, The Scotsman, 28 October 2002

"Deutsch's stylish playing is ever-pleasurable, while Henschel's metallic baritone bears out this label's reputation for talent-spotting." - Anna Picard, The Independent on Sunday, 10 November 2002

"Any fan of Korngold's swashbuckling film scores would appreciate this CD, which forms a retrospective survey that runs from the Eichendorff songs, composed when he was a teen prodigy, to the nostalgic Sonett fur Wien, dating from 1953. The vocal and stylistic range required is colossal, and baritone Dietrich Henschel confirms his status as today's most versatile lieder singer in performances that combine passion with tenderness, and sensuality with urbane wit." - Charlotte Higgins, Records of the Year, The Guardian, 6 December 2002
