About

The acclaimed German composer and conductor Christian Jost has recomposed Schumann’s famous song cycle, and recorded this new work with the tenor Peter Lodahl and the Horenstein Ensemble.

CD 2 contains the original song cycle sung by mezzo-soprano and Jost’s wife Stella Doufexis, who passed away in 2015. This recording of Dichterliebe by a female voice is a valuable rarity which throws completely new light on the repertoire. The combination of the two works makes a very personal and emotional album.

Christian Jost is a leading figure on today’s contemporary music scene. Born in Trier in 1963, he studied in Cologne and at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. His rich catalogue includes a series of much lauded operas – including Rote Laterne (for Zurich Opera) and the forthcoming Egmont (for Vienna’s Theater an der Wien) – and a wealth of orchestral works, with concertos such as Heart of Darkness, premiered by the Berliner Philharmoniker, forming a core genre in his output. Well established in the European operatic and orchestral repertoire today, his works are regularly performed at venues around the globe. Jost is also an accomplished conductor and is frequently invited to direct orchestras such as the Essener Philharmoniker, Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra and Shanghai Chinese Orchestra.

“I am permanently searching for the magic moment and can only achieve this through a complex and differentiated ratio between structure, form and tone.” – Christian Jost
