Excepcional recital de Konstantin Krimmel acompañado al piano por Daniel Heide en el Festival de Granada.

Thomas Hampson and Wolfram Rieger perform a selection of Lieder by Schubert and others during Schubert Week in Berlin.

A programme of Schubert and Berg Lieder are sung with ultimate mastery, albeit the programme goes long on melancholy and short on variety.

The intimacy of Schubert’s Lieder almost guarantees that no words can be missed. In comparison to say, a 100-strong choir competing with a full orchestra, the poetic element of Lieder is unmissable, and thus it occupies a larger part of the concertgoer’s attention. Schubert of course recognised this, and selected his wordsmiths carefully.
