Paul Mow is a four-year veteran of the New York City Opera. He has won numerous opera and vocal awards as well as top reviews of his starring roles. His star is on the rise, he is planning a series of East Coast and possibly Mid-West recitals of this song cycle with pianist Eric Malson. Malson is one of the most sought after accompanyists in New York City.
A rarely performed or recorded masterpiece by Brahms (1833-1897), this song cycle is best known by the recording and performances of the great legendary German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Now the brilliant award winning young American tenor Paul Mow provides a performance of these 15 exquisitely beautiful, tender and powerful songs that is destined to set a new standard. Together with the extraordinary playing of New York pianist Eric Malson and recorded in the acoustic perfection of New York City's Town Hall, this is Brahms Lieder that practically registers off the scale in terms of emotion, control and passion, not to mention musical and vocal perfection.
