The final day of Oxford Lieder's 80-event festival was framed by two recitals taking us from the world of German folklore andDes Knaben Wunderhorn, to the pain and drama of romantic entanglements. 

A fine concert, the first in a series celebrating the bicentenary of Clara Schumann's independent musical mind.

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.

Im Rahmen der Opernfestspiele wusste die Sopranistin Golda Schultz, sonst gefeierter Opernstar, auch als hinreißende Liedsängerin zu beeindrucken.
