"Our home is not here"
Joseph Joachim Raff: Two Songs from the Rhine op. 53
Robert Schumann: Liederkreis op. 39
Richard Wagner: Five poems for female voice and piano WWV 91, "Wesendonck-Lieder"
Longing, departure and inner movement characterize this recital: Joseph Joachim Raff's "Zwei Lieder vom Rhein" op. 53 carry memory and rootedness in clear melodic expressiveness. Robert Schumann's "Liederkreis" op. 39 unfolds poetic landscapes between nature and inwardness with Eichendorff's poetry, while Richard Wagner's "Wesendonck-Lieder" open up intimate miniatures of love, longing and existential tension as an emotional climax.
A concert evening that explores home in all its facets and at the same time builds a bridge to the 6th Philharmonic Concert, in which Raff's 3rd Symphony will be heard - a moving journey through romantic worlds of sound.
