Search - Wolf, Pregardien, Kleiter :: Italienisches Liederbuch

"The silvery-toned tenor ... is still among the best. Honey-voiced Christoph Prégardien [presents a program] refreshing and freshly, elegantly sung." -- Gramophone Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Hugo Wolf 's birth, this new CD from world-famous musicians Christoph Prégardien, Julia Kleiter, and Hilko Dumno presents poems by Paul Heyse (1830-1914) based on texts in Italian from folk poetry or song tradition. Prégardien is well known for his recent recordings of Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin and Schwanengesang, both released in 2008. Die schöne Müllerin was honored with the 2009 MIDEM Record of the Year Award and highly praised by Gramophone (including Editor's Choice & Best of 2008).
