Jeffrey Tate and his Hamburger Symphoniker (Hamburg Symphonic Orchestra) present an unusual selection of magnificent compositions on DVD: Richard Strauss\u2019s \u201cFour Last Songs\u201d, Peter Ruzicka\u2019s \u201cFive Fragments\u201d, Franz Schubert\u2019s \u201cUnfinished\u201d, and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Delius\u2019s \u201cWalk to the Paradise Garden\u201d. All of these pieces have one thing in common: \u201cAlbeit in very different ways, all four works reflect on the profound human experience of death. Schubert\u2019s symphony speaks of this, and the \u2018Four Last Songs\u2019 too tell the story of the end of all things\u201d, Tate emphasises in an interview given especially for the DVD\u2019s liner notes. Nina Stemme\u2019s voice makes the Strauss songs exceptional, as she interprets them in a highly emotional manner. Tate is certain that there can be no better singer to demonstrate the work\u2019s emotional qualities: \u201cNina is an extraordinary singer who knows exactly what she is singing about and also what she wants to express. When performing a work, she absorbs it in all its facets, adding to these her unbelievable instinct, perfect technique, and the gift of a beautiful and yet strong voice.\u201d A comprehensive documentation produced by the NDR (North-German broadcasting institute) presents the highly sought-after conductor Jeffrey Tate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
