FRANZ SCHUBERT / LUDWIG van BEETHOVEN
Schubert: Schwanengesang / Beethoven: An die ferne Geliebte
Mark Padmore (tenor), Mitsuko Uchida (piano)
[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 3 February 2023
On this live recording from London's Wigmore Hall, two masterful Schubert interpreters, tenor Mark Padmore and pianist Mitsuko Uchida, record Schubert's Schwanengesang and Beethoven's An Die Ferne Geliebte for the first time.
With a lifetime of experience with this music, Uchida and Padmore are the perfect duo to interpret this magnificent repertoire.
"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?" BBC Music
"Padmore and Uchida each have Schubert credentials that promise a historic meeting of musicians, and indeed there are moments of simultaneous brilliance" Gramophone
Tracks:
Schubert: Schwanengesang, D957
Beethoven: An die ferne Geliebte (To the distant beloved), Op. 98
