Product Overview
Wolfgang Holzmair - Wolfgang Holzmair - The Philips Recitals (CD BOX SET) From Haydn to Eisler: the collected Philips recordings of WOLFGANG HOLZMAIR, a supreme art-song interpreter, including many long-deleted albums. Wolfgang Holzmairhas long been recognisedas one of today's most accomplished and intelligent Lieder singers. He brings a refinement and subtlety to his performances worthy of the great German Lieder baritones, but it is the silky elegance of his voice that has always seduced listeners and critics: the golden, tenorialtop as well as his rich, soulful lower register. In celebration of his 70th birthday, this set brings together his complete Philips recitals for the first time, as well as his 1995 recording for Koch of the Hollywood Songbook by HannsEisler. The box is ordered by musical chronology, beginning with the folksong-like simplicity of Haydn's solo-vocal idiom, a quartet of exquisite Mozart Lieder and the Beethoven cycle –An die ferneGeliebte–that became the keystone for the Romantic artsongtradition.
