An die ferne Geliebte

Ludwig van Beethoven

Peter Schreier, András Schiff

1994

Top recommendation. Schreier and Schiff bring wonderful perception, intelligence, and expression. Schreier's beautiful tenor sound is very expressive with nice depth, well-suited to Beethoven.

Gerhard Hüsch, Hans-Udo Müller

1936 Mono recording.

A classic from a giant of Lieder singing. Hüsch has a wonderful, warm, deep lyrical baritone sound and is passionate, expressive, and nuanced.
