Work: Rondo in C major, Op.51 no.1

Norwegian Isa Katharina Gericke seized on the opportunity of building a programme around Kirsten Flagstad’s lieder repertoire to present an enjoyable recital at Stockholm’s Allhelgonakyrkan, together with pianist Bengt Forsberg. However, fine musicianship from this perfect team, and the exuberant charisma of this charming singer couldn’t remedy the fact that many of the songs lack substance.

Trotz Makel führte die Beethovennacht in eine leuchtende Hoffnung, die den guten Willen anerkennt, Neugehörtes und den herausragenden Solisten Tobias Koch würdigt.
