A Testament in Songs /// Ian Bostridge is one of those rare vocal phenomena who is convincing in many areas at the same time: on the intimate podium of song interpretation as well as a concert singer and in opera, and that with modern as well as baroque repertoire. Ian Bostridge has dedicated a long artistic journey of his life to Schubert, collaborating with various pianists along the way. It has been ten years since the English tenor released his first Schubert CD on EMI Classics. After a long journey through the poetic song world of this composer, he now arrives at his great legacy with Antonio Pappano at the piano: his 13 songs on poems by Rellstab and Heine, collected under the title Schwanengesang, are considered absolute highlights of the genre.
