Author: Richard Wigmore
With his personable high baritone – mellow yet capable of an incisive edge – and keen intelligence, Immler convinces equally in the mystery and inwardness of the Zemlinsky songs (sung in flawless English), the luminous Gál nocturne ‘Abend auf dem Fluss’ and the mordant ballads of Eisler and Grosz. In the latter he characterises with a sly, acidic wit (I loved his Louis Armstrong moment in Grosz’s ‘Ballade vom Seemann Kuttel Daddeldu’), without becoming over-knowing. Deutsch, always rhythmically acute, proves an ideal collaborator. Sad, then, to end with a serious gripe: with such rare repertoire, translations are indispensable for non-German speakers. CAvi-Music criminally provides translations neither in the booklet (Erik Levi’s excellent note is only partial compensation)
nor on their website.
