Christoph Prégardien, a renowned tenor celebrated for his nuanced interpretations and captivating performances, presents a compelling collection of songs in "Schumann / Wolf: Eichendorff Songs." Released on January 1, 2000, under the haenssler CLASSIC label, this album is a testament to Prégardien's artistry and his deep connection with the romantic German song repertoire.
The album features a rich selection of works, including Robert Schumann's complete "Liederkreis, Op. 39," a cycle of songs set to poems by Joseph von Eichendorff, and a selection of Eichendorff-inspired songs by Hugo Wolf. Prégardien's sensitive phrasing and expressive delivery bring to life the poignant lyrics, which explore themes of longing, nature, and love. The album also includes lesser-known pieces such as "Nachruf" and "In der Fremde" variations, showcasing Prégardien's versatility and his ability to breathe new life into familiar and obscure works alike.

Prégardien is accompanied by pianist Michael Geiter, whose deft touch and subtle nuances complement the tenor's vocal artistry. The recording quality is excellent, capturing the full range of Prégardien's voice and the piano's resonant tones.
"Schumann / Wolf: Eichendorff Songs" is a captivating exploration of the human experience, as seen through the lens of Eichendorff's poetry and the musical genius of Schumann and Wolf. Christoph Prégardien's interpretation is both intimate and profound, making this album a valuable addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection.
