Henschel hasn’t always been at his best with Wolf but he is here, always with a firm vocal line creating a clear path through the thickets of chromatic accompaniment, always with deeply felt attention to the words and any number of moments when you could swear he is channelling Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (no bad thing). Philippe Herreweghe’s accompaniment with the low-vibrato Royal Flemish Philharmonic maintains welcome transparency in potentially congested textures.
The Clara Pons film leaves a less penetrating impression: it’s a dialogue-free series of images, using Wolf as an emotional counterpoint on the soundtrack, showing a middle-aged country cleric (remember, Mörike was a priest) struggling with sexual desire for a young woman in his congregation. Not an unfamiliar story; but here it’s told with a kind of pastoral quietude, showing both parties with increasingly few clothes. As heavy-handed as the imagery can be, I was most struck by a scene with Henschel alone in the woods, sweaty and shirtless, attempting to build his own cross out of logs, only to have it collapse and tumble down the hill.
