Matthias Goerne is an incomparable lieder singer. Recognized worldwide for his warm tone, legato, and the depth of his artistic sensibility, emotion springs from his interpretations like a quiet force.

And it takes this gentleness to lead us into a territory as painful as that of the death of children. Indeed, he wanted to lend his voice by selecting from his favorite repertoire the lieder that address this theme: the disappearance of what should not disappear, the light that fades too soon. When music is involved, sometimes tenderness prevails over despair.
