Overview

Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber, among the great partnerships in Lieder interpretation, grace the celebrations of Schubert’s birthday at Wigmore Hall with this unmissable programme. Their recital unfolds as a deep meditation on the afterglow of the day, the abendröte or ‘evening red’, a magical, mysterious time of transition. They interleave some of Schubert’s finest songs, Die Gebüsche and Der Wanderer among them, with a selection of beguiling pieces from Manfred Trojahn’s 2012 song cycle Abendröte, settings of the poems from Schlegel’s Abendröthe that Schubert overlooked.
