Songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn

'The charm of Mahler's Lieder-composing style - so close to Schubert's - comes across beautifully. Stephan Genz is more than just a very fine singer: his precision, sensitivity and range of imagination proclaim him a true successor to the great Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. And Vignoles's booklet note is an informative pleasure in itself' (Classic FM Magazine)

Roger Vignoles writes in his booklet notes that 'to enter the world of Mahler's Wunderhorn songs is like opening a picture book. Each page gives us another character, another fairy tale, another episode, whether happy or tragic, in the tale of human existence … Mahler achieves a remarkably intense evocation of human life in this collection, portrayed with empathy, humour and compassion'. Stephan Genz brings his easeful beauty of tone and acuteness of insight to these beautiful, intriguing songs.
