“Dichter­liebe” released on Deutsche Gram­mophon!

Schumann’s haunt­ing song cycle “Dichter­liebe” was new­ly com­posed by the Ger­man com­poser and con­duc­tor Chris­tian Jost and record­ed by the Horen­stein Ensem­ble for Deutsche Gram­mophon.

Jost’s Dichter­liebe, sung by the Dan­ish tenor Peter Lodahl and the Horen­stein Ensem­ble, was com­mis­sioned by the Konz­erthaus Berlin and the Copen­hagen Opera Fes­ti­val.
It pre­miered in Octo­ber 2017 in Berlin.
