About

After receiving huge praise for his debut album on Deutsche Grammophon (Sunday Times Album of the Week, Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine) Baritone Andrè Schuen continues his Schubert journey. Schubert's enigmatic final collection of songs, 'Schwanengesang', is the subject of baritone Andrè Schuen and his longstanding accompanist Daniel Heide's second release for Deutsche Grammophon. Baritone Andrè Schuen's admiration for the cycle dates back to a time before he had even become a professional singer: 'It's one of the first lied compositions I got to know. I remember a recording with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau that I played over and over again'. Schwanengesang compiles lieder on texts by Ludwig Rellstab, Henirich Heine and Johann Gabriel Seidl, put together after Schubert's untimely early death. The album follows the pair's acclaimed interpretation of Die schöne Müllerin.

February 2023

one enjoys Schuen’s fresh, beautifully contoured baritone, deployed with breath control that allows him to sail into long vocal lines with an illuminating sense of long-term musical direction, plus telling articulation of text.

November 2022

The second of two superb interpretations of Schwanengesang to come my way in as many months, this could scarcely be more different from Ian Bostridge's aching, careworn account of the work with the late Lars Vogt, but I can see myself returning to it just as often: firm and even throughout the range, Schuen's virile, oaky baritone is a pleasure in itself, and his broader-brush approach to the text is no less vivid than Bostridge's more pointillistic interpretation.

Limelight Magazine 16th December 2022

His diction is faultless and there’s an attractive chemistry between him and Heide.
