This cycle offers a symbiosis of words and sound, performed in nuanced interpretations by international stars such as Jonas Kaufmann. He has been working with the most renowned Lied accompanist Helmut Deutsch since 1990. On his 80th birthday, we not only treat ourselves to an evening with this perfectly attuned duo, but also witness a new artistic encounter: with audience favorite Kate Lindsey, who gives her first lieder recital in Vienna accompanied by Deutsch. Schumann's »Dichterliebe« and Schubert's »Winterreise« are approached by Ludovic Tézier and Simon Keenlyside respectively. Brahms and Schumann as well as rarities are on the program of baritone Konstantin Krimmel, who returns after his acclaimed debut. Our portrait artist Jakub Józef Orliński will be unearthing another rarely heard treasure - pearls of Baroque singing. Soprano Pretty Yende strives programmatically beyond the Romantic period.
