CD coming out on the 16th of October and on this Decca link you can get a small "amuse-bouche":
Enjoy!!!
The live version that i saw in Munich during the summer stays with me until now and i can't wait to revive those memories from the CD... the sound of water running like quicksilver on stones; the intense green of the forest; the intensity and volatility of feelings, the tenderness, hope and sadness the story of the young man is overflowing with in both the singers voice and the pianist's fingers. The 20 songs of the cycle take you through an incredible range of emotions and you arrive at the end breathless and longing for more...
So far the Strauss Lieder CD is one of the few i keep going back to and this is likely to be another one of these. Of the few Liederabend i've heard with JK and HD there isn't one i wouldn't want to sit through again and again and again... so hopefully the collection will keep growing :-)
