Diana Damrau’s latest DVD, a recording of her Lieder recital with Jonas Kaufmann and Helmut Deutsch at the Wiener Musikverein, comes out on June 7. The evening’s music took the audience on an emotional journey of Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms’ most romantic songs.
“[...]Damrau’s vocal delicacy, [is] able to open a phrase with a delicate crescendo, while often ending them with soft holds as if she were embracing the syllables to the fullest.”
– Operawire
