Simon Bode tenor; Igor Levit piano - G Mahler and Schubert by Various, Noiztik (2022/2022), Wigmore Hall, London, United Kingdom

Two of the greatest Lieder composers are the joint focuses of this programme from an increasingly admired German tenor and a regular pianist partner. Of Simon Bode’s Die schöne Müllerin, the Bayerische Staatszeitung wrote, ‘seldom one hears this cycle so direct, so gripping … seldom so close to the meaning, so well-articulated, as from this tenor from Hamburg.’
