Mr. Goerne is a highly expressive artist and singer. His voice is mellow and very pleasing. He seems totally committed to fine phrasing and a totally musical interpretation.
Here is an excerpt from “Schubert: Wanderers Nachtlied”, Released in February 10, 2014. Performed by Matthias Goerne, baritone, and Eric Schneider, piano:
And here is another song that is a great favorite of mine: Schubert’s “An Silvia”, D. 891, from his ‘Nacht und Träume’
I could go on indefinitely. But let me end with Schubert’s “Im Frühling, D.882″, from Wanderers Nachtlied, released in February 10, 2014.
