FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797–1828)
SCHWANENGESANG (SWAN SONG)
Roman Trekel, baritone
Oliver Pohl, piano
After Die Winterreise (Winter Journey)
and Die schöne Müllerin (The Fair Maid
of the Mill), Roman Trekel has selected
Schwanengesang (Swan Song) for his latest Lied-
CD available from OehmsClassics. He interprets
well-known titles from this cycle, such as Kriegers
Ahnung (Warrior’s Foreboding), Liebesbotschaft
(Love’s Message) and the famous Ständchen
(Serenade) with intelligence as well as a mature,
warm voice. His regular piano partner, Oliver Pohl,
accompanies him with sensitivity, at times with
vigour as well.
