"The greatest baritone alongside Gerhaher works with an equally revelatory pianist" - rave reviews for Temple Song
'The tennis champion Jannik Sinner isn't the only mega-talent from South Tyrol'. The Times
The recent Temple Song recital by baritone André Schuen and pianist Julius Drake received ecstatic reviews from the critics. Neil Fisher in the Times was impressed by the singer's 'beautiful legato and...sweetest vocal timbre' and found he 'performed with authority and emotional depth at Temple Church in London as part of the Temple Music series.'
David Nice at The Arts Desk described Schuen as 'The greatest baritone alongside Gerhaher' and his partnership with Drake as 'simply the best Lieder partnership I'd heard', feeling that 'we need to see and hear much more of Schuen in London'.
Robert Hugill felt the performances 'brought out the songs' lyric beauty alongside a focus on text and meaning', and that 'Schuen's was a mellow, thoughtful performance with the poetry given with a great deal of poise, almost as if the poet was recollecting.'
