Oeuvre: 3 Michelangelo Lieder

Chez Berg comme chez Schumann, chez Chostakovitch comme chez Brahms, le duo propose une telle incarnation du texte poétique qu'on retient son souffle tout le long du récital.

Despite some fascinating, impressive and often beautiful moments, the consistent refusal to give the audience time to applaud, pause and digest what they had just heard turned the evening into a wash of death songs.

Baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Daniil Trifonov combined their talents to explore the darker side of human existence in an intense, uninterrupted 90-minute recital.
