A vocal recital featuring Schubert’s beloved song cycle journeying through joy, longing, and heartbreak with tenor Nicolas Watts and David Cowan on piano.
A master in the art of German Lieder, Schubert wrote his first evocative song cycle in 1823 based on a series of poems by Wilhelm Müller about a miller’s unrequited love. A work of lyrical beauty and emotional depth, it is a piece that lingers long in the mind.
