“Music is a way to express emotions and generate them in the listener; to connect with the human essence and to transformate society. Music is ephemeral, but generates effects that keep in time. I believe in improvisation as a direct mean of musical transmission: I play what I feel and the listener perceives it by adapting it to his personal situation.”-Daniel Ferruz

Celebrating the 300th anniversary of Gluck’s birth, Daniel Behle presents this album of Gluck’s lesser known opera arias. Showcasing their rich variety of styles, he illustrates that these works are primed for revival.
In the world of opera the artistic achievement of singers and their fellow musicians can create a special, incendiary chemistry with an audience. There is nothing like that magical moment of silence at the end of a marvellous aria before the first cries of „Bravo!“ ring out.

For his Gluck recital the German tenor Daniel Behle has chosen glorious arias by a master of the 18th century – Christoph Willibald Gluck – that are sure to elicit a rapturous response, especially when performed by one of the finest lyric tenors of our time.

Behle has been compared to such tenor legends as Fritz Wunderlich, Richard Tauber and Anton Dermota, praised for his “bright, supple and warm timbre” and his natural musicality (Fono Forum, August 2012). The beauty of his tone is complemented by the probing nature of his interpretations as he captures the emotions of each character with captivating psychological insight, playing in a masterly fashion with the colours of the music. Familiar arias are transformed into a new and moving experience.

Daniel Behle is accompanied by one of Europe’s leading Baroque orchestras, Armonia Atenea, conducted by the extraordinary George Petrou.

Mit der vorliegenden „Doppel-Aufnahme“ von Franz Schuberts (1797-1828) berühmtem Liederzyklus „Die Winterreise“ zeigt der deutsche Tenor Daniel Behle seine außergewöhnliche künstlerische Bandbreite. Denn die 24 Lieder erscheinen sowohl in der Originalversion als auch in einer Bearbeitung für Tenor und Klaviertrio. Der studierte Komponist Daniel Behle arrangierte das Werk selbst für Klaviertrio und nahm beide Versionen mit dem Pianisten Oliver Schnyder und dessen Trio auf.

Schuberts 24 Lieder umfassender Zyklus „Die Winterreise“ gilt als einer der Höhepunkte der Gattung Kunstlied und gehört zum festen Repertoire eines jeden Liedgestalters, so auch von Daniel Behle. Für seine intelligenten und feinfühligen Liedinterpretationen bekommt der Tenor regelmäßig hervorragende Kritiken. „Emotional tief berührend“ empfand die Abendzeitung seine Gestaltung der originalen „Winterreise“ im Münchner Prinzregententheater 2014; „die beinahe entmaterialisierte Tongebung […] zieht dem Hörer förmlich den Boden unter den Füßen weg.“ Sein Arrangement für Klaviertrio sieht der Sänger vor allem als interpretatorische Erweiterung: „Jede Bearbeitung hat nur dann ihre Berechtigung, wenn sie eine Form der Interpretation ist. Ein bloßes ,Umsortieren‘ von Noten schafft für den Hörer keinen Mehrwert.“ Die Vielfalt der gestalterischen Möglichkeiten der Geige und des Cellos setzt Daniel Behle in den arrangierten Stimmen bewusst ein, um das Hörerlebnis noch zu intensivieren: „Das Violoncello und die Violine dringen, behutsam eingesetzt, tiefer in die Gefühlswelt des Reisenden ein. Sie setzen nicht nur lautmalerische Akzente, sondern ergänzen und bereichern sowohl den Gesangspart als auch die Stimme des Klaviers“, beschreibt Daniel Behle seine Arbeit. So ermöglicht er ein besonderes und anderes Hören des Meisterwerks und schafft gleichzeitig eine Hommage an das Genie Schubert. Nicht zuletzt definiert Daniel Behle die Rolle des Interpreten neu und setzt so ein sehr persönliches künstlerisches Statement.

Of all the great composers, Schubert left by far the largest number of uncompleted works: symphonies, piano and chamber music, songs, choral music and operas. Six of the latter are represented on this disc—the early ‘Adrast’ written around the age of twenty and ‘Fierebras’ written in 1823, five years before the sudden end of his short life. Schubert made many attempts to achieve success on the Viennese operatic stage but was singularly unlucky in doing so. Consequently none of his operatic music ever entered the repertoire and today it remains the most unknown aspect of his work. Therefore this disc is an assembly of some very rare music indeed, most of which has never before been recorded. Indeed, most of these operas and singspiels have never been professionally staged since they were written. For this recording, German tenor Daniel Behle travelled to Linz/Austria and worked together with the L’Orfeo Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Michi Gaigg. German tenor and composer Daniel Behle is without question one of the leading lyric German tenors of the moment. He made his Royal Opera debut in the 2016/17 Season as Ferrando (Così fan tutte) and was highly-celebrated. Behle is possibly best-known for his adaption of Schubert’s Winterreise for tenor and piano trio, performed in 2015 at the Wigmore Hall and recorded for Sony Classical with Behle and the Oliver Schnyder Trio.

Daniel Barenboim conducted the Vienna Philharmonic in the 2014 News Year’s Concert, an annual celebration that showcases classics by the venerable Strauss family and the light music of other composers. True to tradition, this concert offers selections by Johann Strauss I, his sons Johann Strauss II, Eduard Strauss, and Josef Strauss, as well as the unrelated Richard Strauss, Joseph Hellmesberger, Joseph Lanner, and for the first time on a New Year’s concert, the French composer Léo Delibes. However, this is not a completely familiar program, because Barenboim has chosen pieces that are mostly unfamiliar to audiences outside Austria. Except for the universally known Strauss classics (Tales from the Vienna Woods, On the Beautiful Blue Danube, and the Radetzky March), as well as the Pizzicato from Delibes’ ballet Sylvia and the Mondscheinmusik excerpted from Richard Strauss’ opera Capriccio, the selections are primarily standards among the Viennese, who regard them as their birthright, and they are seldom heard in the west. Barenboim and the Vienna Philharmonic play with high energy and spontaneity, and the fun atmosphere of the evening comes across in these glittering and buoyant performances.

About the Series
Beginning this summer, Decca Records will release an unprecedented series of Beethoven recordings – all of the composer’s complete symphonies, piano concertos and piano sonatas. The label has recruited one of Beethoven’s greatest interpreters, Daniel Barenboim.

Daniel Barenboim Speaking About the Project
“I think the Beethoven symphonies with the Divan orchestra is different in the sense that there is a terrific amount of energy because of the youth of the people – but there is just as much rigour. The combination of rigour with youthful energy is very strong” (Daniel Barenboim, speaking in the TV documentary on this project).
Esteemed conductor Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra explores the celebrated repertoire of composer, Ludwig van Beethoven. His compositions have a universal appeal, speaking to music lovers around the world. Performing in a duel role, as composer and pianist, Daniel Barenboim has been dubbed one of Beethoven’s greatest interpreters. With the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, the ensemble breathes new life to these irresistible classics.Beethoven For All – Symphonies 1-9 is the first installment in this highly anticipated series. Recorded in August 2011 in Cologne, the performances are truly remarkable complemented by the extraordinary sound quality. A technically flawless reading of these beloved symphonies.

Daniel Barenboim is no stranger to complete collections. Glutton that he is, he records them several times over, whether it’s Beethoven’s Sonatas, or as here, Mozart’s Trios (already recorded for EMI in 2006 with violinist Nicolai Znaider and cellist Kyril Zlotnikov). And so it’s not the immortal Amadeus that we are hearing so much as a portrait of Barenboim that ages with the years. The accomplished artists create a close dialogue, greedily following each other’s music. Amongst all these scores, can we detect an aesthetic vision? The scores follow one after the other, like at a family musical soirée, with a convivial, sweetish piano sound – likely a matter of sound quality rather than sherry consumption – in particular on the Piano Trio in B Flat Major, K.502, but also in the opening passages of the Allegro of the Piano Trio in E Major, K.542, whose dramatic dimension is somewhat lacking here. But at least the piano doesn’t overshadow the strings or upset the balance required in these tightly-wound, respected works. Mozart’s chamber music isn’t simple: the contrapunctual writing builds a delicate world whose poetry is flavoured by harmonies and chromatism. Daniel Barenboim has found some fitting partners. – Elsa Siffert
