Harmonia Mundi has great pleasure in announcing a new series of recordings with one of the greatest
interpreters of Lieder, Matthias Goerne.The aim of this ambitious project is to record a broad selection of
Schubert lieder.Around a dozen discs will comprise the Matthias Goerne Schubert Edition, which will be
released over the next few years.We are delighted to welcome Matthias Goerne for this undertaking. He will
be fittingly accompanied by some very fine pianists including Helmut Deutsch, Christoph Eschenbach, Elisabeth
Leonskaja, Ingo Metzmacher and Eric Schneider whose distinct personalities will illuminate Goerne's subtle and
protean artistry.
This first volume of Schubert, in his lieder, recalls us to our condition as short-lived
wanderers. A solitary voice sings of its torments and desires, accompanied only by that equally solitary
instrument, the eminently self-sufficient piano. Here is no theatre but the echo, at last perceptible, of our inner
depths, where silence reigns, where all is grave and nothing lies to us.
Born in Weimar, Matthias Goerne studied with Hans-Joachim Beyer in Leipzig, then with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf
and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He has gained worldwide recognition as a lieder singer. He is a regular guest at
international festivals and concert halls such as Carnegie Hall in New York and the Wigmore Hall in London.
Among his musical partners are Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Leif-Ove Andsnes,Alfred Brendel, Christoph
Eschenbach and Elisabeth Leonskaja. Since his operatic debut at the Salzburg Festival in 1997, as Papageno
under the direction of Christoph von Dohnányi, Matthias Goerne has appeared at all the major opera houses
and with the world's greatest orchestras. He is an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music in
London.
"Critics have sung Mr. Goerne's praises over and over, and one can
hardly add anything at this point: The voice is one of the most
beautiful - most lush, most creamy - that any of us has ever heard.
His singing is almost impossibly smooth. The first time you hear it, you
can scarcely believe it. Even the 10th time, you have to wonder...
An impressive recital. Matthias Goerne: a first-class and
unforgettable lieder singer."
