Schubert: Die Schone Mullerin, Op. 25, D. 795

Schubert's song cycle Die schöne Müllerin, written almost two hundred years ago, is one of the supreme tests of the lieder singer's art. The duo brings to life the story of a young miller who wanders the countryside in search of work and sees his carefree world transformed within the course of the song cycle.

This contrast of course requires a nuanced vocal range. "By recording it now, while I'm relatively young, I can still bring many light colours to the music as well. The piece makes no sense to me without them."
