Schumann Song

Tied to Gerald Finley’s Schumann recital on 29 October, the firstWigmore Study Group of the 2010 season turns its attention to thesongs of Robert Schumann and in particular his Heine LiederkreisOp. 24. Dating from Schumann’s extraordinary year of song (1840),this remarkable cycle marks a high point in the development ofSchumann’s song style: the subtle interweaving of voice and piano,a highly sophisticated response to text and a unique exploration ofshifting emotional textures. Hosted by composer Julian Philips, thethree afternoons (20, 22 & 29 October), will offer three approaches:a song masterclass with young recital artists, a performance-analysisand an investigation of the cultural and historical context in whichthis cycle was completed.

Series ticket price £53 including three study sessions and a ticket for the evening concert on 29 October

Jonas Kaufmann tenor Helmut Deutsch piano

Schubert Die schöne Müllerin

With an impressive technique at the service of a questioning mind, JonasKaufmann is keenly sought after by opera companies around the world.For his first song-cycle at Wigmore Hall he chooses Schubert’s Die schöneMüllerin, following his recent recording with Helmut Deutsch.

‘Kaufmann’s dark-timbred, beautiful, near-heroic and extrovert performancecomes as something of a shock. I doubt that Schubert’s cycle [Die schöneMüllerin], purely in vocal terms, has been more thrillingly sung on discsince Fritz Wunderlich recorded it for Deutsche Grammophon’ Hugh Canning, Sunday Times
