Schubert’s tragic love story brought by a star singer skilled in storytelling

Franz Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin is more than just a series of beautiful lieder; it is, above all, a tragic love story that must be told from beginning to end. Baritone Matthias Goerne has that storytelling skill. The Boston Globe hailed the German baritone as ‘one of the greatest singers of our time’. Die schöne Müllerin exactly as the cycle was meant to be heard.

Matthias Goerne is the alpha and omega of the Great Singers series. No other vocalist has performed more often in this beloved series; an ode to the Song and the lieder singer. Why does Goerne return to the Muziekgebouw time and again? ‘It’s my favourite hall, because of the acoustics and the atmosphere’, he explained. This internationally acclaimed baritone, famed for his phenomenal diction, never fails to impress. A recital to look forward to.
