Sometimes bad things can bring along something good. Many people used the corona lockdown as a welcome opportunity to unwind. Jonas Kaufmann took advantage of it to do something he had relegated to the back burner in recent years: to record lieder songs. Together with Helmut Deutsch, his longstanding partner at the piano, he used the time between April and June to record a good many lieder dear to the hearts of this stellar German tenor and his veteran accompanist.
