Dichterliebe
Matthias Goerne

Having two such giants as Matthias Goerne and Evgeny Kissin together on the same stage carries the promise of a rare concert experience that will leave a lasting impression. For this unique recital, the two artists have chosen a monument of nineteenth-century musical literature: Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe. Matthias Goerne is considered one of today's best interpreters of this song cycle which embodies the soul of German Romanticism. The poet Heinrich Heine, here set to music by Schumann, was also set to music by Johannes Brahms. Therefore, it is only natural that Goerne and Kissin should also offer us a selection of his lieder, among the most inspired.
