Product Description Goethe's Willkommen und Abschied (Greeting and parting) provides a thematic connection for the Schubert lieder on this recording, as performed by tenor Werner Gu?ra and pianist Christoph Berner. Review The excellent duo of German tenor Werner Güra and Viennese fortepianist Christoph Berner have constructed their own thoughtful cycle based around the Goethe setting "Wilkommen und Abschied". The life, loves and losses of a fictional Romantic are portrayed, from youth ("Schlummerlied"), through adolescent rapture ("Ganymed") to death ("Nocturne"), making gentle but never coercive psychological sense. Berner, playing an 1872 Rönisch fortepiano, shows keen attention to every detail. Güra, outstanding in his unfussy, intense delivery, is a formidable, rousing guide. --Fiona Maddocks, The Observer, Sunday 26 February 2012
