Christian Gerhaher is regarded as one of the world's finest Lieder singers. The German baritone presents the inspired coupling of Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte, among the first ever song-cycles, and Das Buch der hängenden Gärten, Schoenberg's ground-breaking setting of Stefan George's expressionist poems about a doomed adolescent love affair.
