Träume / Alpträume

Andrè Schuen (baritone) & Daniel Heide (piano)

Songs by Strauss, Zemlinsky and Wagner

Dream and nightmare often lie close together, the transition is fluid. The range of human dreams, the juxtaposition of supreme happiness and anxiety-fuelled nightmares fascinated and inspired poets and composers alike, especially in the late 19th century. In their programme Träume / Alpträume, baritone Andrè Schuen and pianist Daniel Heide embark on a tightrope walk between dream and nightmare, which promises to be a dreamlike musical experience!

Echoes

Katharina Konradi (soprano), Catriona Morison (mezzo-soprano) & Ammiel Bushakevitz (piano)

Songs and duets by Schumann, Brahms, Chausson, Viardot and others

Duets are a rarity in recital programmes, as it is usually only one singer who performs a recital. So there is double the pleasure in this special programme, which features a reunion with the wonderful soprano Katharina Konradi and Ammiel Bushakevitz at the piano. The two of them are bringing the Scottish mezzo-soprano Catriona Morison to Stuttgart as the third member of the ensemble, so that the programme of this gallery concert will include not only solo songs but also duet repertoire that is performed far too rarely.

Ernst Leopold Schmid (Mörike time capsule)

Songs by Hugo Wolf and Pauline Viardot

Thinking of Mörike settings, Hugo Wolf immediately springs to mind. After all, he left behind true masterpieces in his 53 Mörike songs. However, it is hardly known that the French composer Pauline Viardot also wrote a dozen fantastic Mörike songs. Now these Mörike songs will be performed for the first time as a cycle conceived by musicologist and Viardot expert Prof. Dr. Natasha Loges. In a Mörike time capsule, Dr. Gunilla Eschenbach from the DLA Marbach will present letters from Pauline Viardot from the Mörike Collection Berge alongside the newly expanded ‘Family Archive of the Schmid and Kauffmann Musician Families,’ which includes manuscripts by Tübingen University Music Director Emil Kauffmann, who was friends with both Eduard Mörike and Hugo Wolf.
