Description
Tenor Daniel Behle and two of his favourite composers: Strauss RICHARD Wagner.
Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss are the two great musical fixed stars in the musical world of tenor Daniel Behle. At the 2021 Bayreuth Festival he was heard as David in the "Meistersinger", in Dortmund and soon in Amsterdam he will be heard in the title role of "Lohengrin".
For a long time it had been a wish of Daniel Behle's heart to sing works by these two "Richards" with a large orchestra and to record them. Now this wish has come true.
Together with the Borusan Istanbul Symphony Orchestra under the conductor Thomas Rosner, Daniel Behle sings selected orchestral songs by Richard Strauss as well as scenes from "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg", "Lohengrin" and "Tannhauser" by Richard Wagner.
"The tenor's intelligence and his experience as a lieder singer and Mozart interpreter bring their own rewards" – Gramophone
"[Behle] surmounts most of the inherent challenges without losing the sweetness for which he is known. […] Ruhe meine Seele offers a dark lower voice that rises to some luminosity[;] Standchen is clean of line and Behle incorporates the highest not into the phrase with elegance. Such skills stand him in good stead" – Opera Now ****
"With a brilliant technique and a correspondingly exquisite and controlled voice, Behle is an outstanding interpreter of Strauss. He sings the songs with great sensitivity and a pronounced sense of both the sensuality and the drama of the songs. Together with his clear articulation, this leads to expressive, atmospherically dense and suggestive interpretations. […] At the helm of the excellent Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic, Thomas Rösner provides a dazzling blaze of colour." – Pizzicato *****
"Behle's musicianship here is superb. He really invests the narrative with a Lieder singer's attention to detail and wrings more out of the piece than Plácido Domingo does on his complete recording of the opera for DG. I came away from Behle's remarkable portrayal feeling as if I had not fully understood what it was all about before this." – MusicWeb International
"With a brilliant technique and a correspondingly exquisite and controlled voice, Behle is an outstanding interpreter of Strauss." – Pizzicato *****
