Georg Nigl - Vanitas - Beethoven, Schubert & Rihm - Presto Classical

Having previously only heard Austrian baritone Georg Nigl as Wozzeck, the fine-boned, almost tenor-ish quality of the voice on this luminous recital took me pleasantly by surprise, and Pashchenko (playing a replica of an 1819 Graf instrument in the earlier songs) matches his delicacy and sensitivity to the hilt.
