This is certainly true of Schubert’s Schwanengesang, which translates to ‘swan song’; of the 600 or so songs he wrote, these last fourteen are among the most sublime.
Partly because of his fame as a songwriter, Schubert’s piano music was overshadowed in his too-short lifetime. But today, his 21st and final Piano Sonata is acknowledged as one of the great landmarks in the repertoire.
These extraordinary pieces will be brought to life by two phenomenal performers in this glittering recital: Matthias Goerne, one of the world's greatest lieder singers, and internationally acclaimed pianist Daniil Trifonov.
Alone, either of these superb masterpieces is thrilling to witness; experiencing them together in an intimate recital is truly something special.
