The ballads of Schubert and Loewe

No broadcast date yet for this concert.

Master singer Christoph Prégardien and original pianist Michael Gees are a strong and much-praised song duo. For the first time in their 30 year collaboration they’re presenting a programme of only ballads – story-telling songs without refrains. Such as Mahlers lovely Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. After the intermission tenor Prégardien and Gees mix less well-known Schubert songs into a cycle which forms a story of itself.

Carl Loewe, contemporary of Schubert, was the master of the ballad. He was so good that even Schubert acknowledged him as his master. Fortunately Schubert himself wrote some ballads, enough for half a recital. Lovely stories about love, quests and farewell.
