Konstantin Krimmel (baritone), Daniel Heide (piano)

Baritone Konstantin Krimmel, voted ‘Best Newcomer’ of the year at the 2023 Oper! Awards in Germany and a member of the eminent Bavarian State Opera company since 2021, presents his third recording for Alpha. In close partnership with pianist Daniel Heide, he places his artistry and h is feeling for words at the service of the lied repertory. This is also an opportunity to discover his vision of the work, an unexpectedly contemporary, socio - psychological analysis: ‘Die schöne Müllerin is a work that romanticises the development of a men tal illness, and shows, unfiltered, how a young person can feel without a tempered emotional world. With all its dark sides.

"There’s certainly no shortage of outstanding recordings of this cycle but this new one – considered, refined and beautifully sung, played and recorded – is among the most satisfying and quietly moving to come my way for a long time." - Gramophone Magazine, October 2023.
