Robert Schumann: Dichterliebe, op. 48

The ‘Dichterliebe’ is one of Robert Schumann's best-known and most important works and is one of the masterpieces of the Romantic Lied genre. In this cycle, Schumann unites Heinrich Heine's poetry with his unmistakable musical language, which captures the entire spectrum of heartfelt affection, fleeting happiness, disappointed hope and finally a quiet, almost conciliatory resignation. Julian Prégardien, currently one of the leading figures in the Lied world, performs this magnificent work together with his long-standing piano partner Daniel Heide with a fine feel for the complexity of music and text. In the second half of the concert, the audience can expect a special surprise: Schubert songs on request. The audience can submit their requests in advance by e-mail or text message, and Prégardien and Heide will then perform a selection. A unique opportunity to be serenaded by two greats in their respective fields!
