About

Ian Bostridge, one of the outstanding tenors of our time, earning widespread praise for his intelligent and nuanced performances, resumes his partnership with Julius Drake for their latest disc of Schubert Lieder. From Schubert’s joyful tribute to the natural world in ‘Der Einsame’ to the desolation of ‘Der Wanderer an den Mond’, this delicately shaped programme explores the theme of longing in various guises. This release, the third volume in this Wigmore Hall Live series, captures some of the most exquisitely crafted songs of the 19th century.

Reviews

“The tenor puts together a stimulating mixture of the familiar and unfamiliar, and is supported with unerring sensitivity and skill at the piano by Julius Drake…At no stage, either, does one doubt Bostridge’s intellectual or emotional commitment; he is alive to the text as few other singers today…there’s no doubt that [he] and Drake offer Schubert that never rests, never ceases in its Wanderer-like quest for new interpretative possibilities.” – Gramophone
