On "Die Winterreise" I disagree. I've accompanied baby-who's a marvelous "Rossini Tenor", on "Tauschung" and "Die Nebensonnen" to be particular. He sings them flawlessly. No quasi-Freudian suicidal bullshit here. Although he does "Der Erlkönig" and "Heidenröslein" so well it ain't funny. Only Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau did 'em better... Sleeps by day....rides by night, like a mongrel always lookin' for a fight..... |
