Work: Eichendorff-Lieder, no. 2: Der Musikant

Those few seconds of breathless silence at the end of a recital before thunderous applause are a rare thing, and a sure sign that the evening has been a success. Such was the case at the Wigmore Hall on Wednesday night after Roderick Williams and Gary Matthewman were called back to the stage for a second encore.

El XXV Ciclo de Lied cerró con un programa representativo en lo que a este repertorio se refiere: Schubert, Schumann, Brahms o Wolf, en una velada que se articuló a través de la alternancia de lieder, dúos, melodramas y poesías recitadas con Thomas Quasthoff, Michael Schade y Florian Boesch.
