Julian Prégardien

Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
Die schöne Müllerin op. 25 D 795
 

Sir András Schiff has spontaneously decided to present to you all an additional work by Franz Schubert: the Piano Sonata G major D 894. 

This sonata contains much of the emotional depth of the 'Schöne Müllerin', as if Schubert had remembered his song cycle when composing it. Both works share a deep intimacy, melancholy and longing. They come from a period in Schubert's life when he was intensively exploring questions of love, nature and human existence and expressing his thoughts in music.

This leads to the following new programme for the concert:

16:00 Introduction to the song cycle 'Die schöne Müllerin' with Norbert Abels (instead of 17:00 as originally planned, duration approx. 30 minutes)

17:00 - 17:45 Franz Schubert's Sonata in G major D 894 with Sir András Schiff, piano

18:15  'Die schöne Müllerin' with Julian Prégardien, tenor and Sir András Schiff, piano (as planned)
 

You can choose to attend any or all of the events on the programme.

The concert ends at around 7.30 pm
Subject to change.
