Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Mörike-Lieder, no. 39: Denk' es, o Seele!

Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber survey composers from Beethoven to Berg in a varied and deeply moving recital. 

Stéphane Degout et Cédric Tiberghien proposaient aux Bouffes du Nord un riche programme, mêlant mélodie et lied pour une soirée riche en contrastes. 

Centered around the later, lesser-known composers of art song, tonight’s programme started with a first half of melancholy Hugo Wolf Lieder. Both Schubert and Schumann wrote settings of Goethe’s unhappy Harfenspieler, but evidently Wolf was unsatisfied, as, on principle, he avoided setting texts which he thought had been successfully treated before.
