Ian Bostridge, Mitsuko Uchida

 

Ian Bostridge teams up with celebrated pianist Mitsuko Uchida in the best-loved song cycle of the German Romantic tradition.  In the ten years since Ian first recorded Die schöne Müllerin his reputation as one of the world’s foremost Lieder singers has become firmly established.  He revisits this work with a wealth of experience and fresh ideas.  Mitsuko who also has a loyal worldwide following is also especially noted for her Schubert interpretations.  This is her first appearance on EMI Classics.

 

The package features exclusive photos by the late legendary photographer Richard Avedon plus a new booklet note by Ian Bostridge.

 

In the 20 melodic songs of Die schöne Müllerin, the hero tells the story of his unrequited love for the beautiful miller-girl.  The archetypal German Romantic landscape mirrors the full range of love’s emotions he experiences – from anticipation and happiness to jealously and despair.
