Matthias Goerne is one of the most respected baritones of his generation, renowned for his rich timbre, emotional depth, and intellectual approach to both concert and operatic repertoire. With a career spanning over two decades, Goerne has established himself as a master interpreter of German Lied, particularly the works of Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms. His thoughtful renditions of these iconic pieces have earned him a place among the elite vocal performers of our time.

Goerne's discography is a testament to his versatility and dedication to his craft. He seamlessly transitions from the somber and weighty themes of Shostakovich's Symphonies No. 13 "Babi Yar" and No. 14 to the intricate nuances of Germanic Lieder, evidenced in his recent albums such as "Schubert Revisited: Lieder Arranged for Baritone and Orchestra" and "Brahms: 4 Ernste Gesänge, Op. 121". His commitment to art song extends into the operatic domain where he shines in "The Wagner Project" and "Wagner: Siegfried, WWV 86C". With his profound understanding of the music and its contexts, Matthias Goerne continues to captivate audiences worldwide, bringing a moving and modern interpretation to the canon of classical vocal music.
