Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau have recorded the three great Schubert song cycles for ONYX, and have earned a formidable reputation as a partnership that delivers in recital and in the studio, some of the most thought provoking and challenging interpretations of Schubert lieder of our time. 'Inspired and quite unforgettable' said Gramophone of their 'Winterreise'. 'Never, in my experience, has Winterreise sounded bleaker than in this magnificently sombre and vivid account' The Sunday Times.
'Unquestionably superb' The Guardian. For 'Die Schöne Müllerin', the BBC Music Magazine commented 'one of the most challenging and provocative new recordings of this cycle - and one of the best performed and recorded'.
Their new CD is a wonderful selection of Schubert Lieder from early in his career to some of the songs from his last years.
"The light, textured baritone of Florian Boesch finds excellent employment in this Schubert collection, flawlessly accompanied by Malcom Martineau." (BBC Music)
"Boesch confirms himself as the baritone's answer to pianist Mitsuko Uchida, daring a range of hushed dynamics in Schubert that seem to echo the composer's reported words: 'Sometimes it seems as if I do not belong to this world at all.' … In tandem with the ever-perceptive Malcolm Martineau (a model of clarity, and especially good at animating and colouring Schubert's bass-lines), Boesch's concentrated Innigkeit can be haunting, above all in the many songs of loneliness, alienation and sorrowful regret." (Gramophone)
"There are lieder singers with more sumptuous voices than Boesch, but few if any with greater musical intelligence, as he showed in his Schöne Müllerin CD, and the voice is strong and richly coloured." (Sunday Times)
"Boesch has an intrinsically beautiful tone, his diction is exemplary, his control masterly and his dynamic gradations smooth as silk." (MusicWeb)
