Beatrice Rauchs - Complete Piano Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Austrian bass Günther Groissböck enchants on the opera and concert stages around the world with the unique noble sound of his voice and virtually breathtaking verve of performance. Together with Malcolm Martineau, who is recognized worldwide as one of the leading piano accompanists of his generation, Groissböck presents on the album InchNicht Wiedersehen!Inch incomparable interpretations of late Romantic songs and ballads by Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler and Hans Rott. The duo pays homage to passion in Strauss songs such as InchZueignungInch, InchAllerseelenInch or InchBreit' über mein HauptInch, or leaves the audience rather thoughtful with InchDer EinsameInch, InchDas ThalInch or InchBefreitInch. Hans Rott, who died at a young age, can be heard in InchWandrer's NachtliedInch, InchGeistesgrußInch and InchDer SängerInch. Groissböck also brings the tragic characters in Mahler's songs InchRevelgeInch, InchZu Straßburg auf der Schanz'Inch, InchTamboursg'sellInch or InchNicht wiedersehen!Inch to life in an incomparable way, before this great recording promises a transcendental end with InchUrlichtInch.
