An die Geliebte

Unrequited love was the wellspring of countless songs and poems in the Romantic era: young tenor Julian Prégardien presents his first solo lied album with a diverse programme of 19th century art songs. Certain moments are full of heartbreak, others more tongue-in cheek: Julian Prégardien invites us to join him on his exploration of the Romantic era in a quest for the (distant) beloved, from the very first song cycles by Beethoven and Weber to the height of the genre in the lieder of Wolf and Strauss.
