Andreas Schmidt and Cord Garben’s recording of Brahms’s Vier ernste Gesänge (Four Serious Songs), Wolf’s Michelangelo Lieder and Mahler’s Rückert Lieder is a moving tribute to these three composers, in which Schmidt’s rich baritone voice captures the contemplative, emotional mood and Garben’s accompaniment provides a nuanced interpretation of these complex pieces. The album is available digitally for the first time.
