By Oliver Pohl and Roman Trekel. By Franz Schubert. Classical. CD. Oehms Classics #OC 463. Published by Oehms Classics (NX.OC-463).

The swan is famous for its song. The Indo-Germanic stem "suon/suen" stands for "moaning" or "resounding." But can he really sing? The mute swan, common in the composer's region, does not. The great white bird usually glides majestically yet silently over the water. The singing swan, a bird with a more upright neck that ever more frequently winters in Germany, is another case altogether. After Die Winterreise (Winter Journey) and Die schone Mullerin (The Fair Maid of the Mill), Roman Trekel has selected Schwanengesang (Swan Song) for his latest Lied- album 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 Standchen (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.
