Avec un remarquable trio de jeunes talents (Laetitia Volcey, Élise Bertrand et Pierre Gasnier), le Festival Présences Féminines rend hommage à la compositrice Clara Schumann, en cette année du bicentenaire de sa naissance.
German baritone Roman Trekel, who made a rare London appearance replacing Dorothea Röschmann at the Wigmore Hall on Friday night, is a highly respected singer known especially for his many Wagner roles as well as for his Lieder interpretation. I first encountered him singing Wolfram in Tannhaüser at the Bayreuth Festival some years ago.
