Work: Freundliche Vision, Op.48 no.1

Diana Damrau, Jonas Kaufmann and Helmut Deutsch's European tour reaches Berlin with a heart-on-sleeve programme of Lieder by Strauss and Mahler. 

Christian Thielemann shows his lighter side, while the Berlin Philharmonic play music they haven't touched in nearly a century.

Almost every June from 1989 to 1999, I visited the charming town of Feldkirch, in the Vorarlberg region of Western Austria, for the annual Schubertiade, originally founded in 1976 by the great German baritone Hermann Prey.
