This release by tenor Mark Padmore and pianist Mitsuko Uchida, Schubert specialists both, came with strong recital buzz on both sides of the Atlantic and landed on classical best-seller charts in early 2023. This recording was made at Wigmore Hall in London. It is Schubert's not-quite-cycle Schwanengesang (it was assembled into a set after Schubert's death) that gets top billing in the graphics, but the album opens with Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte, Op. 98, the first true song cycle, shown on the cover in small print. The piano part in Beethoven's songs had an unprecedentedly major role in the proceedings, and the placement of the set at the beginning may serve to advise the listener of the unusual emphasis on Uchida's piano in the main Schubert attraction as well. Sample Ständchen, the most famous song in the set, or Abschied for a taste of the lively, spritely quality that is Uchida's alone. The piano-driven effect is heightened by the engineering, which puts Padmore's voice somewhat into the background, and it is not at all clear that this needed to be done. Padmore remains, however, a terrific Schubert interpreter. His voice is a bit thin in its middle register by now, but his ability to extract fine shades of meaning through slight alterations of tempo is unmatched. In general, this is a fine Schubert recording that lives up to the hype, and it is especially recommended to Uchida fans; they will discover a new facet of her talent.
