Christoph Prégardien sings Schubert's "Die schöne Müllerin"
“In the vast Schubert lieder discography, Christoph Prégardien’s is my desert-island choice for a highly cultivated yet quite personal tenor-voice foray into Schubert’s world.“ (Gramophone)Tenor Christoph Prégardien and pianist Michael Gees are, beyond the shadow of a doubt, among the greatest interpreters of Schubert’s song cycle “Die schöne Müllerin” (The Fair Maid of the Mill). The cycle deals with a period in the life of a young miller lad as he wanders along a stream in search of work; he meets a mill-girl and falls in love with her; then loses her to another man and, in deep despair, drowns himself in the millstream. “Die schöne Müllerin” – consisting of twenty songs – is an amazing compendium of the human psyche which deals with the miller’s emotions as he finds, and then loses, his love.
