Poetry set to music
Ludovic Tézier captivates audiences with his powerful voice on the world's great opera stages, such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Vienna State Opera, and La Scala in Milan. He gained international renown after studying in Marseille and Paris and enjoying early success in Lucerne, Toulouse, and Lyon.
Powerful baritone
Today, Ludovic Tézier is one of the leading singers in his field. The baritone has also made a name for himself as a concert and lieder singer. In his recitals, he focuses primarily on French and German lieder. At the Vienna Konzerthaus, he will perform Schumann's »Dichterliebe« and Wagner's »Wesendonck Lieder«, accompanied by British pianist Julius Drake.
The pinnacle of romantic song art
Robert Schumann masterfully set poems by Heinrich Heine to music in his song cycle »Dichterliebe«. It depicts the highs and lows of an unhappy love affair—from exuberant infatuation to deep despair and melancholy. Schumann composed the cycle in 1840, the year he married Clara.
Vortristanesque miniatures
Death, longing, desire, and eternal love are the themes of the Wesendonck Lieder, which Richard Wagner set to music based on poems by his muse Mathilde Wesendonck. The five songs are considered a preliminary study for »Tristan und Isolde«. Originally composed for female voices, a number of renowned baritones have ventured to interpret these expressive songs, including Matthias Goerne, Konrad Jarnot, and Roman Trekel. Ludovic Tézier's interpretation is therefore particularly eagerly awaited.
