Stephan Genz (baritone) & Roger Vignoles (piano) “Both "Dras irdische Leben" and "Der Tambourg'sell" - two starkly different songs - have a gentle lyricism that's deeply affecting. Genz is partnered by Roger Vignoles, whose playing is so sharply characterised and finely weighted that I hardly missed the better-known orchestral version.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008 “Stephan Genz's light, warm and cultured baritone is especially fine in reflecting the ghost voices and moonlight serenades of Mahler's folk-inspired anthology. Yet more attack is surely needed for the prisoner in the tower and the what should be the increasingly desperate pleas of the starving child is 'Das irdische Leben'.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 *** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
