Notes and Editorial Reviews
John Shirley-Quirk is an excellent singer of Schwanengesang, his baritone fitting very well with this music. His deep voice is very reminiscent of Fischer-Dieskau, yet it has a darker sound. He espouses the gloomy emotion of this cycle admirably, giving moving performances of some of the most profound songs, such as In der Ferne, where he shows a great mastery of dynamics and handles the very low notes with ease
