Oeuvre: Nannas Lied

Sur les terres de Sviatoslav Richter, un ensemble de musiciens de valeur a interprété un programme habilement tressé, entre le Pierrot lunaire de Schönberg et des chansons de Kurt Weill.

Father and daughter team of Brett Dean and Lotte Betts-Dean join forces for the opening concert of Kings Place’s ‘Memory Unwrapped’ season. 

Two of the world’s most sought-after opera singers giving Lieder recitals on the same night. The kind of painful choice which Viennese musical institutions and their chaotic schedules throw up all too regularly. I went for Nina Stemme over Jonas Kaufmann on the basis that she gives fewer solo recitals, despite harbouring reservations about how her big voice would fare in this repertoire.
