Schubert: Schwanengesang

Awards:

Mark Padmore is at his vocally expressive best, lyric tone sliding into near speech, with Uchida seemingly minting this music anew. Have those dark chords at the close of ‘Am Meer’ ever sounded...

About

Two masterful Schubert interpreters, tenor Mark Padmore & pianist Mitsuko Uchida record Schubert’s Schwanengesang and Beethoven’s An Die Ferne Geliebte for the first time. On a new Decca Classics album, Uchida and Padmore appear on record for the first time in this live recording from London’s Wigmore Hall. They perform Schubert’s Schwanengesang (his “Swansong”, first published weeks after the composer’s premature death in 1828) and Beethoven’s only major song cycle An die ferne Geliebte. With a lifetime of experience with this music, Uchida and Padmore are the perfect duo to interpret this magnificent repertoire.

March 2023

Mark Padmore is at his vocally expressive best, lyric tone sliding into near speech, with Uchida seemingly minting this music anew. Have those dark chords at the close of ‘Am Meer’ ever sounded so chilling?

February 2023

Padmore and Uchida each have Schubert credentials that promise a historic meeting of musicians, and indeed there are moments of simultaneous brilliance.
