FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797-1828)

 

Die Schöne Müllerin

 

James Gilchrist - tenor

Anna Tilbrook - piano

 

Renowned British tenor, James Gilchrist, presents “Die Schöne Müllerin” (The Beautiful Maid of the Mill”), Schubert’s classic setting of poems by Wilhelm Müller – generally accepted to be a masterpiece of the song genre. Gilchrist has performed this cycle many times, to great acclaim, in concert in the UK and abroad – usually in partnership with Anna Tilbrook. He is one of Britain’s most popular and sought after singers.

 

The CD booklet contains full German text with English translation, and an essay by Richard Morrison of The Times giving a fascinating insight into both Schubert and Die Schöne Müllerin.

 

“..he is now unsurpassed amongst lyric tenors in sweetness and technical security, and for his musical intelligence.” The Independent
