About the album

Currently a BBC New Generation Artist, baritone Benjamin Appl makes his Champs Hill debut with a disc of lieder by Grieg, Rubinstein, Schubert, Felix & Fanny Mendelssohn and Schumann. All composers set words by Heinrich Heine, one of the most contraversial literary figures of the last 200 years, whose texts still have surprising relevance today.

Benjamin Appl says: “Many of the songs recorded here have become familiar to me over a long period: I programmed Schumann’s Dichterliebe for my very first recital in 2006, unaware of its challenges and rather reckless of me, in retrospect. From the very beginning its musical and poetic language drove me and absorbed me. At the other extreme other songs, such as the lovely op 32 by Anton Rubinstein I discovered much more recently.”

Benjamin Appl was greatly influenced by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who mentored and taught him as his last private student until
his death in May 2012. An accomplished performer in opera and beyond, he is an extablished recitalist, performing in Carnegie Hall and the Wigmore Hall, where he was named as an ‘emerging artist’ in 2015.

Described by The Daily Telegraph as ‘in a class of his own’ James Baillieu is a prize-winner of the Wigmore Hall and Das Lied International Song Competitions, and the Kathleen Ferrier and Richard Tauber Competitions. He was selected for representation by Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) in 2010 and in 2012 received a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and a Geoffrey Parsons Memorial Trust Award.

Talentvolle Appl zingt liederen op teksten van Heine
Bariton Benjamin Appl, de BBC New Generation Artist van 2016, maakt zijn debuut met een album met liederen van Grieg, Rubinstein, Schubert, Felix en Fanny Mendelssohn en Robert Schumann, allen gebaseerd op teksten van Heinrich Heine, een van de meest controversiële personen in de literatuur van de laatste 200 jaar, wiens teksten vandaag de dag nog altijd relevant zijn.

Appl over het album: “Met veel van de liederen op dit album ben ik gedurende een lange periode bekend geworden. Ik programmeerde Schumanns Dichterliebe voor mijn eerste recital in 2006, nog onbewust van zijn uitdagingen. Achteraf bleek dat een vrij roekeloze keuze. Ik werd van begin af aan gedreven en in beslag genomen door de muzikale en poëtische taal. Aan het andere uiteinde staan andere liederen, zoals de mooie opus 32 van Anton Rubinstein die ik veel recenter ontdekte.”

Appl werd sterk beïnvloed door Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau die hem als zijn laatste privé-leerling tot aan zijn dood in mei 2012 begeleidde en onderwees. Appl is een talentvolle zanger in opera en daarbuiten, en een gevestigd recitalist. Hij treedt onder andere op in Carnegie Hall en Wigmore Hall.
