Two renowned tenor greats go on a special discovery: René Kollo and Jay Alexander sing evening songs by Schubert, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Schumann. The well-known songs from the Romantic era have all been newly arranged for string orchestra and produced in the studio for the first time in this form. The unique album, which will be released on February 11, 2022, combines two renowned voices that complement each other exquisitely in their diversity. The two singers can be heard in duet and solo, creating a whole new listening experience of these songs.
Alexander and Kollo were enthusiastic about the collaboration. "Despite his great experience, René Kollo does not convey the feeling that he is above things. Rather, he was full of enthusiasm and energy, and you immediately felt: the music is the focus," Jay Alexander reports of the recording. René Kollo underlines the good partnership with his tenor colleague: "Jay does one side, I do the other. I thought that was good. I'd heard him on TV a couple of times, and each time I said: he knows what he is doing."
The tenors each associate a very unique story with the songs. Jay Alexander's parents sang Brahms' Lullaby to him as a child, and he has passed it on to his own children. René Kollo describes himself as a romantic through and through. For him the lyrics especially are of great relevance; they are the origin from which the musicality emanates. To him, "'Die Winterreise' by Schubert is a revolutionary song, one that attacks. It's a song of communism and revolution!" And even "Der Wanderer an den Mond," often presented as a devotional art song, acquires a folksong-like feel in Kollo's interpretation.
Both tenors have sung an enormous range of repertoire. René Kollo is not only one of the most legendary Wagner tenors of the 20th century, he also opens himself to the so-called lighter muse. "The fact that you have to sing Schlager so light and easy, people never think about that, but it's not that easy!" he says. Romantic songs, on the other hand, have a very special place in his heart: "I have always given many song recitals. I have traveled all over the world with Irwin Gage, who was one of the best song accompanists. Perhaps I didn't give songs quite the attention they deserve, because I was always so busy with the big opera projects and recordings. But is there anything more beautiful than "Winterreise" or "Dichterliebe"? No!"
"Romantic Evening Songs," recorded with the Central German Chamber Orchestra, delights with songs such as Schubert's "Im Abendrot," "An den Mond," Mendelssohn's "Nachtlied" and "Der Mond," as well as Schumann's "Mondnacht" and Brahms' "Wiegenlied." For Jay Alexander, the collaboration with the orchestra was particularly intense: "You are able to immerse yourself in these songs in a completely different way and embed your voice; it was a beautiful atmosphere. The orchestra interpreted in such a differentiated and sensitive way - you could feel that the musicians also put their heart and soul into it." The result is an album with music that resembles a dreamlike walk on a starry night.

Herr René Kollo. Ein Jahrhundert Künstler. DANKE.
Einfach nur einmalig und genial. René Kollo. Seine Stimme nahezu unverändert. Großartiges Duett. 2 besondere Stimme und Künstler. DANKE.
René Kollo. 1980 durfte ich ihn in der Kantine der Kölner Sporthalle erleben. Wir saßen mit Peter Alexander und Anneliese Rothenberger und aßen gemeinsam zu Mittag. Völlig entspannt. Einmalig, diese Zeit. Ich möchte sie nicht missen. Das war im Mai 1980.
…so ein Format sollte live gesungen werden…aber Rene Kollo immer noch toll!
Einfach Wunderbar gesungen . Dankeschön
Es ist so schön Ihr Beiden.........
Super....tolle stimme
Meine Verehrung gilt voran Herrn René Kollo. Ihn konnte ich im Mai 1980 in der Kölner Sporthalle in der Kantine sprechen und kennenlernen.
Gemeinsam mit Peter Alexander und Anneliese Rothenberger. Das war die ZDF Gala:
Peter Alexander: Danke, Robert Stolz.
Grandios die beiden🤩🤩🤩🤩
Und die Beiden sind entzückend zusammen. Es ist so nett, dass Kollo mit dem jüngeren Tenor, wie ich es verstanden hatte, dein Vorbild ist..
Nunja, da gibt es in Kollos Alter einer der berühmtestennTenor aller Zeiten, und es wundert mich nicjt stellt sich mit jungen Sopranen noch auf die Bühne😉
Kollos Wagner Aufnahmen sind nicht zu übertreffen und im Alter kann er noch immer wirklich schön singen.
Da Filipinos dieses Schlaflied lieben, kann selbst ich die Bedeutung nicht verstehen
