Jonas Kaufmann - Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde (2017)

"And so it was moving after all to find the vast scope of this work, from the sheer fullness and intensity of life to the final expiration, united by a single voice.” DER STANDARD

“For the first time Jonas Kaufmann sang all six movements of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde at the Musikverein, in other words, not only the movements for tenor but also those for baritone or contralto. With most singers this would seem presumptuous, but with Kaufmann it results in absolute logic because in this way his baritonal timbre is set off to magnificent advantage, while his top notes, none the less, remain radiant. […] the concert with the Vienna Philharmonic under Jonathan Nott became a musical and vocal event of the first order. […] With his wonderful ability to shape a melodic line, his outstanding diction and intonation and his exemplary phrasing Kaufmann made the whole enterprise his own.” DER KURIER
