Songs by Schubert 4

2018 | Wigmore Hall Live

Ian Bostridge (tenor)

About

Ian Bostridge, ‘one of the world’s great lieder tenors’ The Telegraph, praised for his sensitive and distinctive performances, is joined once more by Julius Drake as they continue to explore the genius of Schubert’s songs. From the strikingly dramatic ballad ‘Der Zwerg’ to the melancholic tenderness of ‘An Den Mond’, the duo examine the emotions of every word and every note in this delicately curated programme, recorded live at Wigmore Hall, London, on 16 May 2015.

“Bostridge, wonderfully partnered by Drake, sings with exceptional intelligence. …All in all, though, an impressive achievement.” – The Sunday Times
