Wanderer, Andreas Scholl

Counter-tenor AndreasScholl displays hisconsiderable talent in thisbeautiful collection ofGerman songs. Featuringworks from Brahms,Haydn, Mozart and Schubert, Schollstrikes a perfect balance between wordsand music. The tracks here reflect Scholl’sbelief that music need not be confined inperformance to a particular voice type, aslong as ‘the singer’s approach is true’.Scholl pulls off a bravura display inSchubert’s An Mignon, singing in both thecounter-tenor and baritone register. Theperformance of these songs reveals anintuitive understanding between Scholland the accompanist, Tamar Halperin.
