I'm going to submit for your consideration tenor Mark Padmore. He is well known for his his baroque works, but I also just love his recordings of the Schubert lieder with Paul Lewis. He has a unique way of saying more with less, if you catch my drift. To me, his Schubert has a rightness about it that can't be surpassed. They are lieder, not opera! See, now I've talked myself into cueing up Die Schone Mullerin.
