“Songs of Yearning -Sehnsuchtslieder”
„Since 2009 is baritone Giorgos Kanaris member of the ensemble at the Opera Bonn. Together with the conductor and pianist Thomas Wise the greek singer addresses himself repeatedly to the Lied repertoire. Lately has been released his CD under the title „Songs of Yearning -Sehnsuchtslieder”, with Shubert’s Songs “Schwanengesang” and Beethoven’s cycle “An die ferne Geliebte”. In this album Giorgos Kanaris exhibits once again, next to his opera activity, also his strong talent in singing Lied.”
„…a successful performance of the “Songs of Yearning”, in which Giorgos Kanaris from the beginning has been characterized by a lovely sonorous timbre, captivating presence and a nice comprehensibility of the text. Especially the interpretation of the emotionally different songs of Schubert succeeds Kanaris with impressive presentation and big technical sovereignty. He demonstrated voice leading in “Der Atlas”. His appropriate gloomy and intriguing performed “Doppelgänger” made goose skin.”
