His numerous recordings of German romantic lieder have been awarded prizes such as the Orphee d'Or of the Academie du Disque Lyrique, Prize of the German Record Critics, Edison Award, Cannes Classical Award, and Diapason d'Or. Pregardien's clear and precise vocal style as well as his intelligent interpretative method and diction, combined with a special talent for capturing the psychological core of a role, have made him one of the leading lyric tenors of our times. On this CPO release he interprets better-known songs by Gustav Mahler as well as Wolfgang Rihm's Rilke-Lieder, pieces that he is closely associated. He performed these songs for piano and voice in Stuttgart on February 2, 2002, with the pianist Siegfried Mauser as his accompanist and recorded them in this version dedicated to him. On the present CD, however, the songs are presented in the orchestral version from 2004, which was premiered in Basel on 10 December 2004 with Pregardien and the Basel Sinfonietta under Emilio Pomarico. As might be expected, the orchestral sound offers expanded opportunities for the realization of emotions and moods. This endows Rihm's music with added feeling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Lob Des Hohen Verstandes \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Wo Die Schonen Trompeten Blasen \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Revelge \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Rheinlegendchen \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Wer Hat Dies Liedlein Erdacht? \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Urlicht \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Neue Sonne \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Dies Uberstanden Haben \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Ich Ging \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Oft in Dem Glasdach \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Wenn Mein Schatz Hochzeit Macht \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Ging Heut' Morgen Ubers Feld \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Ich Hab' Ein Gluhend Messer \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Die Zwei Blauen Augen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
