Matthias Goerne Sings Die schöne Müllerin
Matthias Goerne is a remarkable baritone who elicits either deep fascination or disinterest, as his highly personalized interpretation of music creates a stark division of opinions. Unlike his mentor and teacher, the renowned German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who focused on a more tangible stage style, he prioritizes creating an abstract and immersive atmosphere that is uniquely his own. This intense personal style can even overshadow the enveloping effect of his rich and warm vocal timbre. As he describes himself, "I sing with my own blood and soul." Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn and the Symphony No. 1 in D major share some thematic and expressive similarities. Influenced by German folk music and dances, both pieces incorporate folk music elements and are intensely "Mahlerian" in their strong expression and emotions. "Titan" explores the meaning and struggles of human existence through grand musical structures and rich orchestration, while Des Knaben Wunderhorn delves into themes such as nature, love, military, and death.
