About

After his critically-acclaimed & award-winning ”lieder albums” with pianists Jan Lisiecki (Diapason D’Or, Edison Klassiek Winner) and Seong-Jin Cho (Limelight’s 2021 Vocal Recording of the Year) baritone Matthias Goerne concludes his DG lieder trilogy with DG exclusive artist Daniil Trifonov.

With this album, Matthias Goerne explores the art song from a metaphysical perspective. In these visionary meditations by Brahms, Wolf, Berg, Schumann and Shostakovich, Goerne and Trifonov’s intense, intuitive partnership opens our ears to the awe-inspiring yet consoling voice of the prophets.

“Goerne’s forceful vocal stature offers a potent counterpart to Trifonov’s elegant flexibility. A great occasion in which two strong individualists interacted with total unanimity.” - Der Spiegel

Reviews

The transience of human existence is the leitmotif of Matthias Goerne’s latest recital, charting a journey from sleep and oblivion (Berg’s Op 2), through Schumann’s dream-haunted cycle of lost love, to Brahms’s bleakly compassionate meditation on last things. Schumann provides vignettes of remembered or illusory happiness. ... Leaving minimal gaps between the groups, Goerne and the equally probing Daniil Trifonov – a true conversational partner – seem to conceive the whole programme as a brooding mega-cycle on the human condition. So the feverish close of Berg’s virtually atonal ‘Warm die Lüfte’, for which Goerne summons an unsuspected power, is confronted with barely a break by the trancelike reverie of ‘Im wunderschönen Monat Mai’. ... the predominant impression is of melancholy, dreamlike resignation, a Dichterliebe set in the distant past tense... The healing postlude of the final song is exquisitely voiced and timed by Trifonov.  Richard Wigmore
