About this concert

Arguably the leading lyric tenor of the moment, certainly the most high-profile, Jonas Kaufmann needs no introduction.

A unique voice that combines Germanic eloquence and focus with the warmth of a convincing Latin sound, its virtuosity has captivated audiences across the world – not only on the opera stage but in the concert hall, with song recitals partnered by the most distinguished of accompanists, Helmut Deutsch.

To Wigmore Hall these two great artists bring a French and German programme that includes some jewels from Liszt’s neglected vocal output and the cycle of five Rückert settings – wistful songs of love and death – by Mahler.
