This recital is the fifth instalment in our complete survey of the songs of Hugo Wolf, and includes settings of Heine and Reinick.
The concert will be recorded for release on the ‘Oxford Lieder Live’ label, as part of the Complete Wolf Songs project. Volume 4 in the series will also be released at this concert.
Two of today’s best-loved singers join forces with leading accompanist Roger Vignoles in a glorious programme of songs by Schumann, Brahms, Wolf and Mahler. All three artists are well known to Oxford Lieder audiences, but this is a rare chance to hear them grace the platform together.
This recital is generously supported by Jesus College and the Kohn Foundation.
2012 marks the centenary of the birth of Kathleen Ferrier, one of the most famous singers of all time. In this recital, rising-star mezzo Karina Lucas and Sholto Kynoch pay tribute to Ferrier’s vitality and musicianship with a programme of some of the songs she was most famous for. A delightful end to this spring weekend of song!
