Info for Schubert: Wanderers Nachtlied

The composer's setting of Goethe's two-part poem 'Wanderers Nachtlied' makes volume eight in Goerne's Schubert edition - a 2-album set on which he is joined by two exceptional collaborators, pianists Helmut Deutsch and Eric Schneider.

Hailed by the Philadelphia Inquirer as, „The most intellectually and vocally gifted male art-song interpreter of his generation,“ baritone Matthias Goerne presents the eighth volume in his ongoing Matthias Goerne Schubert Edition for harmonia mundi. The featured work is Schubert's setting of Goethe's two-part poem Wanderers Nachtlied. A renowned Schubert interpreter, Goerne is renowned worldwide for his complete commitment to the composer and text.


„… for rapt inwardness and scrupulous care for tone production and a seamless legato line, Goerne has no equal today. … no singer cares more than Goerne for the beauty and eloquence of Schubert’s melodies.“ (Richard Wigmore, Gramophone)
