Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber are mesmerizing in opening Liederabend of Konzerthaus season

Chanda VanderHart, 25th October

If this first song recital of the season is any indication of the level we can expect at the Konzerthaus, lovers of Lieder are in for a real treat. Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber set the bar very high last night in a hefty program including Schumann’s Dichterliebe and a dozen other songs, a set of Fauré, and the world première of a song cycle by Jörg Widmann.
