Two renowned tenor greats go on a special voyage of discovery: René Kollo and Jay Alexander sing evening songs by Schubert, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Schumann. The famous songs from the Romantic era have all been newly arranged for string orchestra and lavishly produced in the studio for the first time in this form. The unique album, which will be released on 11 February 2022, combines two renowned voices that complement each other superbly in their diversity. The two singers can be heard in duet and solo, creating a whole new listening experience of these songs Alexander and Kollo were enthusiastic about the collaboration. "Despite his great experience, René Kollo does not convey the feeling that he is above things. Instead, he was full of enthusiasm and energy, and you immediately felt: the music is the focus," Jay Alexander reports of the recording. René Kollo underlines the good partnership with his tenor colleague: "Jay does one side, I do the other. I thought that was good. I'd heard him on TV a couple of times and each time I'd said: he's learned it." The tenors each associate a unique story with the songs. Jay Alexander's parents sang Brahms' Lullaby to him as a child, and he has passed it on to his own children. René Kollo describes himself as a romantic through and through. For him, however, the lyrics are also of great relevance; they represent the origin of everything from which musicality emanates. He says: "'Die Winterreise' by Schubert is a revolutionary song, one that attacks. It's a song of communism and revolution!" And even "Der Wanderer an den Mond," often presented as a devotional art song, has a folksong feel to Kollo Both tenors have sung repertoire of an enormous range. René Kollo is not only one of the most legendary Wagnerian tenors of the 20th century, he also opens himself up to the so-called lighter muse. "The fact that you have to sing Schlager so light and easy, people don't even think about that, but it's not that easy!" he says. Romantic songs, on the other hand, have a very special place in his heart, "I've always given a lot of recitals. I've travelled all over the world with Irwin Gage, who was one of the best song accompanists. Maybe the Lied got a little short shrift because I was always so busy with the big opera projects and recordings. But is there anything more beautiful than "Winterreise" or "Dichterliebe"? Nah!" "Romantic Evening Songs," recorded with the Central German Chamber Orchestra, delights with songs like Schubert's "Im Abendrot," "An den Mond," Mendelssohn's "Nachtlied" and "Der Mond," as well as Schumann's "Mondnacht" and Brahms' "Wiegenlied." For Jay Alexander, the collaboration with the orchestra was particularly intense: "You can put yourself into these songs in a completely different way and embed your voice, which was a beautiful atmosphere. And the orchestra interpreted in such a differentiated and sensitive way - you could feel that the musicians also put their heart and soul into it." The result is an album of music that seems like a dreamlike walk on a starry night.
