Jost’s Dichterliebe is perhaps best understood in relation to Doufexis’s unusually intimate, loving account of Schumann’s original…The voice is light…but it’s always intelligently used.

About
“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)
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.
