{"product_id":"doppelganger","title":"DOPPELGANGER","description":"CD + DVD. Jonas Kaufmann's latest album brings together two of Schumann's most profound song cycles-Dichterliebe and Kerner-Lieder-performed with exceptional sensitivity and vocal finesse. Accompanied by pianist and long-term collaborator Helmut Deutsch, Kaufmann explores the emotional and poetic nuances of these Romantic masterpieces. These works are complemented by \"Doppelg�nger\", a strikingly original stage adaptation of Schubert's Schwanengesang (Swan Songs), directed by Claus Guth. This production reimagines the cycle through a contemporary theatrical lens, adding a powerful visual and narrative dimension to Schubert's final songs. As a special bonus, the release includes six previously unreleased recordings from Kaufmann's private archive: selections from Dichterliebe recorded in 1994 during his student years. The DVD features the acclaimed theatrical production of Doppelg�nger, directed by Claus Guth and staged at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. Taking it's name from the final song, \"Der Doppelg�nger\"-in which a soldier confronts the haunting realization that he did not survive the war-this Armory commission poignantly explores the longing for life's beauty and the idea that death is not an abrupt end, but a final, reflective journey.","brand":"MASTERWORKS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46012854632682,"sku":"194397813821","price":24.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4435333-3458541.jpg?v=1778184328","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/doppelganger","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
