Hans Hotter (1909–2003) was 64 when he recorded two recital LPs for Decca, here coupled as a 2CD set. One of the rare singers to achieve equal eminence in Wagner and in Lieder, the singer’s voluminous bass-baritone, at once majestic and profoundly human, was in its autumn. Yet, the sense of detail, of characterisation, he brings to these songs, vividly partnered by Geoffrey Parsons, is not only a joy but an essential lesson for every student of Lied. There is evidence of both warmth and candour as well as a wry sense of humour in the Wolf and Loewe brackets and he is an absolute natural for Brahms, a composer to whom even in his younger years he was irresistibly drawn. As a revered teacher, Hotter would tell his students: ‘Remember, it is important to try not to be boring’. Throughout these 38 songs, Hotter is, as ever, true to his own precept.
