Liederabend

Sophie Rennert - mezzo-soprano
Joseph Middleton - piano

Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
Liederkreis op. 39
Selected songs by
Johannes Brahms and Franz Schubert

Austrian mezzo-soprano Sophie Rennert presents a song recital celebrating the great themes of Romanticism: nature, love, and the eternal search for what endures. Schumann's Liederkreis op. 39, set to poems by Eichendorff, conjures a world of wandering, night, and wistful longing. Brahms's selected songs reveal his masterful balance between tenderness and dramatic depth. Schubert's contribution includes "Musensohn", "Wanderers Nachtlied", and the gripping "Erlkönig" - miniatures charged with feeling, sonic magic, and storytelling power.
