Ian Bostridge, Alexander Lonquich – Schubert

Ian Bostridge tenor

F. Schubert (1797-1828)
Schwanengesang D 957

Admission € 10

Schubert composed only two great cycles of Lieder, but three have survived to posterity. Schwanengesang (literally, swan song) is a posthumous collection of some of the last Lieders composed by Schubert before his untimely death. Inside there are some of his greatest masterpieces, including the famous serenade Ständchen. Guiding us in this concert of the In-canto plot are two Schubert specialists: Ian Bostridge and artist in residence Alexander Lonquich.
