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.
At the other end of a musical life, Tchaikovsky wrote his Children’s Album for his favourite nephew. These 24 piano pieces are evocative and full of character, inspiring delight and wonder in listeners of all ages.
These exquisite 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 artists is thrilling to witness; experiencing them together in an intimate recital is truly something special.
Please note, this performance will only feature Daniil Trifonov and Matthias Goerne. Musicians of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will not perform.
