From the high energy of Schubert’s song ‘Der Strom’ to the quiet contemplation of the song ‘Die Sterne’, this sensitively performed program explores the great range and deep insights of the composer’s Lieder.

Tenor Ian Bostridge’s sensitive feeling for words and music in the songs of Franz Schubert, were developed and refined over more than twenty years of his performances. His interpretations strike a balance between the formal craft of Schubert’s writing and its qualities of spiritual feelings.
