One of those rare artists whose voice unfailingly bridges the space between his heart and ours is Matthias Goerne. This most intimate of baritones, unafraid to bare his soul, seems on a perpetual quest to explore new territory with some of our best accompanists. To a distinguished list of collaborators that, on recordings alone, includes Graham Johnson, Christoph Eschenbach, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Alfred Brendel, and Vladimir Ashkenazy, he now adds Leif Ove Andsnes. Piercingly beautiful songs by Mahler and Shostakovich could make for one of the more profound recitals of this or any season.
