Schubert on Sunday 8: Julian Prégardien and Els Biesemans, Die Schöne Müllerin

Julian Prégardien, in wonderful voice, is utterly compelling. The plangent tones of the fortepiano and Els Biesemans’ utter involvement adds so much. The shared level of commitment makes for a heartbreaking performance, of great emotional intensity. Surely one of the very finest recorded performances on disc or otherwise that we have.

Why it is in grim times that such wrenching music can yet be, in its way, consoling I cannot tell.
