Of course, Andrè Schuen has long been successful on the world's major opera stages - for example at the Bavarian and Vienna State Operas, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, the Teatro Real in Madrid and the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Starting from Mozart, he has already advanced to the first Wagner roles, such as Wolfram in “Tannhäuser” at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin. In addition, the baritone, who grew up in La Val in South Tyrol, dedicates himself to song like no other singer of his generation - and always has the accomplished pianist Daniel Heide at his musical side. “Schuen doesn't seem to be looking for beauty - rather for truthfulness,” says a review of the joint recording of Schubert's “Winterreise”: “He sings as if the dramatic events in these songs were happening at the very moment we were listening to them get to hear. That is the art, his and his companion's.” With Herbstgold, Andrè Schuen and Daniel Heide demonstrate their meticulously coordinated skills and their musical storytelling skills in the grand gestures and intimate turns of phrase in songs between late romanticism and early modernism.
