About

After his critically-acclaimed and 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.' (Spiegel recital review)

October 2022

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.

June 2022

The main event is a Dichterliebe that's so much more than the sum of its formidable parts, with Trifonov's achingly beautiful phrasing of the introduction setting the tone for an interpretation that's full of fresh insights on several levels. Brahms's Vier ernste Gesänge are finely done, too, though given how recently Goerne recorded them elsewhere I'd happily have foregone them here to make room for more of Shostakovich's Michelangelo settings - they suit him down to the ground.
