"Licht und Schatten ist denn auch die Ausbeute von Schubert-Hits betitelt - die zugleich keine Super-Hits sind. "Die junge Nonne" immerhin, auch "Der Einsame", "Im Abendrot", "Fülle der Liebe" und "Wanderers Nachtlied II" entstanden in dieser Zeit - von Samuel Hasselhorn mit durchaus maskuliner Innigkeit und Hingabe vorgetragen. Eine grossartige CD und "Rampe" für den 200. Todestag des Komponisten im Jahr 2028. Hasselhorn, wie das Album bestätigt, ist einer der wohl drei besten Lied-Baritöne der Gegenwart (neben Konstantin Krimmel und Andrè Schuen)".

"The winner of the Kathleen Ferrier Award in 2006 and Cardiff Singer of the World Song Prize in 2007, Watts is the new soprano to hear. She proves herself an ideal lieder singer on this Schubert disc with her bright tone, infallible tuning, clear German diction, innate lover's sadness and ability to portray a scene and tell a story simply and vividly".

"Seit 2018 erschien der Bariton Benjamin Appl regelmäßig bei dem Komponisten György Kurtág zuhause. Dieser ist mittlerweile 99 Jahre alt. Dabei entstand im Jahr 2024 diese CD, unter anderem mit den "Hölderlin-Gesängen" Kurtágs sowie etlichen Lieblingsliedern von Franz Schubert. Zwei Lieder (eines von Schubert und eines von Brahms) begleitet Kurtág sogar selber am Klavier. Ein Dokument, keine Frage".

"Benjamin Appl has worked regularly with György Kurtág since 2018, when he first sang the Hungarian's settings of Hölderlin. Since then the baritone and the composer have performed Schubert and Brahms together, and lieder by both composers are interleaved here with 13 of Kurtág's own songs ... It's a beautifully realised collection, not only evidence of Appl's command of a wide-ranging repertoire, but also a wonderful tribute to one of the greatest composers and musicians of our time".

"Recommended: Since I first came across Samuel Hasselhorn a couple of years ago, I have eagerly looked forward to every new disc, and I have never been disappointed ... His fresh voice is capable of deliciously beautiful pianissimos and brilliant and thrilling top notes, and its powerful middle register allows him express the most dramatic outbreaks effortlessly. He is also very concerned about nuances and dynamics ... The programme closes in calm and contemplation: Goethe's Wandrers Nachtlied and Schlegel's Wiedersehn, and here, to use the hackneyed phrase, 'Time stands still'! A wonderful conclusion to a wonderful programme".

"I must at once state that his German is excellent, which I of course knew from before, having heard him singing Bach and Telemann, but in a Lieder programme the language is even more exposed, and he passes the test with kudos. His voice is one of the most beautiful countertenors around, and his technical accomplishments are considerable, so his instrument serves him wonderfully in most situations ... The programme as a whole is a collection of gems ... Some of the best readings are the three Goethe songs ... Throughout, he is very careful with nuances, and his taste is stylish and free from eccentricities ... I will with pleasure return to this issue, which is excellently engineered and well annotated".

"You won't actually find Einzug der Gladiatoren in this newly released collection ... However, no reason to ignore this new Marco Polo CD, for it actually turns out to be something of a ground-breaking release ... While the marches are brisk and to the point, the disc's six waltzes are, though to varying degrees, longer and more substantial ... The remaining pieces are equally attractive and effectively display Fučík's musical expertise, albeit within the somewhat limited range in which he chose to work ... Czech Chamber Orchestra Pardubice, by my count it is made up of 36 players and that turns out to be a perfectly reasonable number to perform these attractive works ... The Pardubice players bring a welcome and often appropriate degree of extra transparency and - as in the polkas françaises - delicacy to their own scores ... This new and well-engineered release ... certainly does Julius Fučík proud".

"Time and again, composers - well-known and lesser-known - have arranged Franz Schubert's piano songs for orchestra. These versions are not in any way intended to cast doubt upon the powerful quality of the originals, they merely place them in a different light, and/or attempt to make them easier to perform on a larger scale ... Baritone Benjamin Appl has compiled nineteen such arrangements from the 19th and 20th centuries for this new CD ... The album is rounded off by the first recording of Johann von Herbeck's orchestrations of Schubert's dances, thus establishing a connection between folk music and Schubert's art songs".

"I was immediately taken by the beauty of Appl's voice, the sensitivity of his phrasing and the sense of controlled power behind the voice ... The power of these songs can be very great ... However, Appl also excels in a gentler mood ... I could go on, but this is enough to make the point. Appl is an excellent artist, and the orchestrations are well done and rewarding. I should add that Oscar Jockel and the Munich Radio Orchestra provide sensitive support. The recording is excellent. If this had included the texts, I would have recommended it enthusiastically".

"He shows his mettle from the very beginning with his beautiful singing of Abendstern, and then song after song unfolds with unerring expertise ... As a bonus, we get two handfuls of German dances in orchestral arrangements by Johann von Herbeck, spread out between the songs. They are brief, melodious and charming. The Münchner Rundfunkorchester plays both the songs and the dances excellently under the young conductor Oscar Jockel, and the recording cannot be faulted. Readers interested in the idea of hearing Schubert's songs with orchestral accompaniments can safely invest in this issue - and be sure that the singing of Benjamin Appl is first class".

"The majority of the Kurtág songs on this disc are a capella. Their range, both vocal and emotional, is wide and they are brilliantly performed by Appl, whose variety of expression and ability to meld the wide-ranging melismas in the vocal writing are superb ... He is also a fine interpreter of Schubert and Brahms, as witness the beautiful versions of the Schubert and Brahms songs included on the disc ... I found this disc an absorbing and challenging experience and would recommend it to anyone with an adventurous appetite".

"Although I enjoy Schubert's Lieder, they not my normal listening ... This remarkable recording, a great account of seventeen (mostly very popular) numbers, made me sit up and really listen ... I enjoyed this recital. Mathias Hedegaard's well-rounded tenor reaches comfortably down into the baritone range. He can capture the mood of these songs, with all their varied emotions. Tove Lønskov ably assisted him with the sensitive accompaniment".

"Recommended: I honestly didn't know what to expect when I received this album. Of course, orchestrating Schubert songs is nothing new ... I feel, though, that Alexander Schmalcz's efforts are as successful as any I've heard - and rather more successful than some ... Inevitably, I've focussed on the orchestrations in this review, but I hope I've said sufficient about the singing of Matthias Goerne to make it clear that he is on top form throughout this album ... A revelatory album".

"Recording of the week: Schmalcz's orchestrations never seek to gild the lily or to push the singer into a more operatic form of delivery - textures are beautifully uncluttered, leaving Goerne free to sculpt and colour phrases with the utmost subtlety and intimacy ... In his insightful booklet-note Goerne writes affectionately of Schubert's ability to strike 'a perfect balance between intellectuality and the greatest naturalness', and that same equilibrium is evident in every phrase of the performances here".

"There can be no argument with the statement that Carolyn Sampson is one of the great singers of our time, and many, including myself, have longed to hear a Schubert recital on disc. Expectation can often lead to disappointment, but not so here. This is a wonderful recording, demonstrating from both performers their customary probing intelligence and sensitive insight. Carolyn Sampson is blessed by the rare combination which blends such thoughtfulness with beauty of voice and diction ... If this does not figure highly as a disc of the year, there is no justice. It is one that will move the listener beyond admiration to love".

"Vurdering: Ugens album" - "Sammen med den engelske pianist Malcolm Martineau har Florian Boesch tidligere indspillet de tre store sangcykluser af Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin, WInterreise og Schwanengesang. Nu følger de op med et blandet album af enkeltstående sange ... Florian Boeschs stemme har en silkeblød skønhed, hans fraseringer er raffinerede og udtrykket ofte underdrevent. Schuberts lieder får en intim karakter, som de utvivlsomt også var tiltænkt".

"Topanbefalingen i denne særlige (og undtagelsesvise!) blanding af nekrolog og cd-anmeldelse bliver Schuberts tre sangcyklusser Die schöne Müllerin, Winterreise og Schwanengesang, indspillet med Gerald Moore ved klaveret. En lille boks med én cd pr. cyklus, men med talrige timers glæde ventende forude. Her har vi den ultimative fortolkning af disse udødelige lieder - og med en pianist, der var en sand mester i akkompagnementets sublime kunst".

" Den argentinske mezzosopran Bernarda Fink har en stemmetype, der er på mode i øjeblikket: let og bevægelig, lys og noget kølig i klangen ... Og når hun synger Schubert, er det den svævende ynde og den fine fornemmelse for teksten der er hendes styrke, hvorimod hun i nogen grad kommer til kort i de mere dramatiske sange ... Hendes pianist er tyskeren Gerold Huber, og han spiller smukt og karakterfuldt, også i de melodramatiske sange".

"Two stanzas into the first song - 'Litanei auf das Fest aller Seelen' - and you all but forget any misgivings you might have harboured about a countertenor tackling Schubert 's lieder. In their third recorded recital Philippe Jaroussky and Jérôme Ducros inhabit this music with assurance [in] a carefully chosen programme ... Jaroussky's diction is immaculate; every word is crystal clear, every line understood and lived ... Throughout, Jérôme Ducros is a faithful Schubert partner who never loses his own identity".

"Den unge tysk-rumænske baryton Konstantin Krimmel er en hastigt stigende stjerne blandt tidens sangere med et særligt blik for den klassiske liedkunst. Krimmel har en overskudstemme, der stikker mere under, end det man lige oplever i øjeblikket. Et godt udgangspunkt, når der skal fortælles eventyr ... Gennem hele albummet er liederne af Schubert og Loewe sat sammen i par ... og tilsammen udfolder de centrale sider af den romantiske mytologi ... Med fintfølende klavertoner af Ammiel Bushajevitz ... [og] med svale toner og tilbageholdt åndedræt skaber Krimmel her spænding med enkle midler ud fra devisen less is more. Mesterligt".

"Den tyske baryton Matthias Goerne har i de seneste mange år stået for noget af det smukkeste Schubert, man kan opdrive ... Og han fortsætter med at imponere. Det er i selve leveringen af Schuberts romantiske sensibilitet, det slår gnister. Med tilpas desperation i sin store stemme og små energiske ryk i de nattemørke lieder er Goerne sammen med Deutsch og Schneider en oplevelse ud over det sædvanlige".

"The entire first disc is beautifully shaped as darkness gives way to early spring light, exaltation and consolation ... At times, I wished someone could have coaxed just a fleeting smile or moment of charm from the ever-earnest Goerne. But his deep seriousness never fails to come up with rare insight, and yields many unforgettable performances here".

"In den vergangenen Jahren sind gleich mehrere CDs mit Instrumentierungen von Schubert-Liedern erschienen ... Noch spannender wird es, wenn das Insula orchestra für diese Einspielung Wiener Instrumente verwendet - und somit den Versionen eine fast authentische Gestalt geben kann. Berlioz, Liszt, Brahms, Reger, Mottl, Strauss, Britten und (als neuer Stimme in gleicher Tradition) Franck Krawcyk kommen dabei zu Wort. Interpretatorisch hätte ich mir freilich weiter gefasste Bögen gewünscht".

"This is a wonderful recital, in almost all respects. The first thing to grab my attention was the mesmerisingly lovely playing of Andreas Haefliger, one of the greatest living pianists, I think, and oddly underrated ... [In Erlkönig] Haefliger's accompaniment is so vivid that I'd enjoy it by itself; Goerne doesn't characterise the three persons as much as many singers, but he still packs a stunning punch ... Both these great artists are up for anyhing Schubert offers them, and I would rank this among the finest recital discs I have ever heard ... Powerful and completely without mannerism or exaggeration".

"Richter is still early in her career, yet demonstrates astonishing versatility, insight and intelligence in this programme of Schubert songs.

"Skovhus har sunget lieden mange gange og drømt så meget om et orkestralt modspil til den store dramatiske stemme, at han har bestilt en orkesterudgave hos Rasmussen. Projektet er en succes, og kodeordet for den er balance. En nuanceret og dramatisk stemme som Skovhus' er ofte klaverets overmand i udtryk, og det bliver der rådet bod på. Schuberts akkompagnementer er meget mere end sangstøtte, og det får man til fulde en oplevelse af. Jagtende, sitrende strygere, sart krydrede blæsermarkeringer og sprøde fløjter, der ledsager melodierne. Et remix erstatter ikke originalen - heller ikke versionerne her. Men det er kærkommen afveksling".

"Appl's ever-expressive baritone is infinitely characterful here in these diverse settings. He is a thoughtful, revealing interpreter of Kurtág's verse, and his own admission that he finds one of the Hölderlin poems impenetrable is suitably disarming, not least when the composer himself counters that he had to write the music to find its meaning".

"The virtue of the pianist Alexander Schmalcz's orchestrations for baritone Matthias Goerne, his regular recital partner, is that he strives to hold faith with what he reads as Schubert 's intentions, even if there are beguiling hints of Mahler and Wagner to be heard ... It's the painterly colours that Goerne finds in the voice which makes him such an expressive artist in a song like 'Abendstern'. And who can resist the final orchestral sigh at the end of Alexander Schmalcz's version of that song?".

Det er pianisten Alexander Schmalcz, der står for arrangementerne, og ... i hans arrangementer åbner orkestret sig klangligt op og inviterer Matthias Goerne indenfor ... En suveræn Matthias Goerne med en stemme, der byder på så mange nuancer og så megen inderlighed, at det næsten er som en drøm".

"Die Stimme von Carolyn Sampson bezaubert vom allerersten bis zum allerletzten Ton ... Das Programm beinhaltet Texte über Mädchengefühle, für die der Komponist ungemein subtile Töne findet. Die Goethe-Figuren Mignon und Gretchen dominieren. Trotz seines eminent zarten Charakters vermag sich der sanft flutende Sopran Carolyn Sampsons bei Bedarf emotional zu steigern; die Seelenqualen von Gretchen (am Spinnrad) sind drängender kaum zu vermitteln ... Joseph Middleton am Klavier trägt die Sängerin auf Händen".

"Hier sitzt ein erstklassiger Schubert-Pianist und Kammermusiker am Flügel. Er formt Nuancen und geschmackvolle Rubati, immer im gemeinsamen Atem mit Caroly Sampson ... Wie Sampson die Töne einfach kommen lässt, wie zart sie Linien verziert oder im Zusammenspiel mit Middleton Farben ausleuchtet, das ist allerfeinste Liedkunst".

"As in his previous Schubert and Schumann albums, the young German baritone combines a warmly rounded tone, an imaginative range of colour and exemplary diction. He's a natural in lieder; and his freshness and eagerness of response are priceless assets in Schubert. Yet the eagerness can occasionally become frenetic ... The sweet-sad dances that thread their way through this recital, played by Bushakevitz with subtly judged rubato, come as a perfect antidote. Roll on Vol. 3".

"Philip Jaroussky has released an entire album of Schubert standards and a few rarities. It is a gorgeous work, a more than equal partnership with his brilliant accompanist, pianist Jérôme Ducros, and an album that leaves eon wanting more from this elegant and expressive artist. The voice is, naturally, light and clear, and the colour range both concentrated and circumscribed ... In his mid-40s, Jaroussky is already a veteran artist. Yet he sings Schubert as if it is new to him in all the best ways. He will not, as some great Schubert singers occasionally do, allow the music to simply sing itself. The artist is present in the foreground, vividly captivated by the interpretative experience".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "Two things make this a most desirable disc for lovers of Lieder. The first is the singer. Matthias Goerne's warm baritone and inward, meditative approach, particularly to Schubert, give an enganging freshness, almost an impression of tentativeness to each interpretation. The second is the choice of songs. This recital of 19 mostly unfamiliar songs from all periods of Schubert's short career illustrates musically in many different ways the longing for something lost".

"Editor's choice: Richter's pure, vernal soprano, care for words and supple, expressive phrasing are well-nigh ideal ... Der Zwerg and Totengräbers Heimweh are anything but natural territory for a light lyric soprano. Yet in both songs her musical intelligence and dramatic use of the text go far to compensating for a lack of tonal depth. A delectable recital from a young soprano whose combination of vocal freshness and unforced expressiveness make her a natural in Schubert".

"It is the apparent straightforwardness of approach that Mauro Peter and Helmut Deutsch bring to these wonderful songs that help make this collection so enjoyable.

For fresh, intelligent and natural Schubert this disc can be heartily recommended".

"This music requires a high level of histrionic commitment from the singer, which Benjamin Appl delivers with relish ... This album is a mere footnote, perhaps, to a long, distinguished and unfailingly idiosyncratic career as composer, teacher and performer, and to a discography notable for its enterprise and memorability. But it is all the more treasurable for remaining so true to the core qualities and convictions of György Kurtág".

"For all of her vocal cultivation, personal magnetism and musical intelligence, Miah Persson seems not to he a born recitalist ... That doesn't mean - on the evidence presented on this disc ... that she can't create some compelling performances on her own terms (especially with such a sympathetic collaboration with pianist Roger Vignoles), even if the more intense moments in her chosen repertoire make her force her voice well beyond its comfort zone".

"Editor's choice: Given Goerne's vocal timbre, it's no surprise that slow, sombre songs, usually in the minor key, predominate. But his trademark concentration of feeling, allied to Schmalcz's subtly changing colourings, ensures that the attention is held throughout. Unscathed by his Wagnerian forays, Goerne's voice remains mellow and rounded, his sense of style impeccable. Instrumentalists could ... learn from his perfectly bound legato and natural feeling for the shape of a Schubertian phrase".

"Boesch confirms himself as the baritone's answer to pianist Mitsuko Uchida, daring a range of hushed dynamics in Schubert ... In tandem with the ever-perceptive Malcolm Martineau (a model of clarity, and especially good at animating and colouring Schubert's bass-lines), Boesch's concentrated Innigkeit can be haunting, above all in the many songs of loneliness, alienation and sorrowful regret ... This new disc contains many compelling performances".

"Editor's choice: Caroly Sampson and Joseph Middleton are recording so much these days ... Elysium: A Schubert Recital showcases them in core repertoire in a programme themed around songs concerning the afterlife. Authority and intelligence are evident in song choices, sequencing and performance in this somewhat soft-spoken disc that's surely among their best ... Sampson is at her best in the nocturnal 'Nacht und Träume', with a masterly balance of word articulation and legato line ... It seems that the more she records, the better she gets".
