About "Brahms: Vom verwundeten Knaben, Op. 14, No. 2" by Christian Gerhaher
Brahms's wounded boy bleeds quietly, and Gerhaher makes every syllable a small incision. The piano's gentle tread contrasts with the text's raw injury, creating a tension between tenderness and trauma. It's a lullaby for the hurt, sung with surgical empathy.
