Following up on their acclaimed recording of Schumann's Dichterliebe and
Liederkreis, tenor Mark Padmore and fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout
join forces once again for a varied and appealing lieder recital of
songs by Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart. Works featured here include
Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte, Mozart's Masonic Cantata and
selections from Haydn's English Songs.
Don't assume that the British tenor Mark Padmore is an opera lightweight
from the ethereal sound and almost choirboy purity of his voice...he can
sing with penetrating intensity...his is an intimate tenor voice,
ideally suited to the Evangelist in Bachs St. Matthew Passion, and, as
this new recording again demonstrates, the lieder repertory...This is
eloquent lieder singing driven by astute and sensitive attention to the
texts. (The New York Times)
The songs are thoughtful and the interpretations deeply considered.
Tenor Mark Padmore sidles in with an artless tone and only gradually
unfurls the fronds of his full voice across the Haydn rarities that open
this recital...An die ferne Geliebte finds fortepianist Kristian
Bezuidenhout on inspired form: his transitions between songs are
seamless, the extended lead-in to Es kehret der Maien notably elegant. (Sinfini Music)
