Florian Boesch - Schumann: Dichterliebe & Kerner Lieder - The Guardian

It’s a typically considered performance, in which Boesch’s stealthy, velvety tone and unfailing attention to words are used to superb effect. Whether darkening his timbre for the seventh number, Ich Grolle Nicht, or hollowing it out for the funereal lament of the 13th, Ich Hab’ im Traum Geweinet, he finds the perfect sound world to match up the expressive weight of each song.

By and large, though, this is as fine a recorded performance of Dichterliebe as any released in recent years.
