Programme

Overview

Baritone André Schuen and pianist Julius Drake invite you to an intimate exploration of Schumann’s Liederkreis, Op. 24 and Dichterliebe. Experience velvety vocals, dramatic intensity and heartfelt poetry in an evening of passion and longing.Baritone André Schuen invites you on an evocative journey through Robert Schumann’s song cycles Liederkreis, Op. 24 and Dichterliebe in an intimate recital setting. Joined by pianist Julius Drake, Schuen’s sumptuous baritone and commanding stage presence illuminate poetic landscapes of romance, longing and reflection. Each song unfolds like a chapter of expressive verse—from the sunlit optimism of early numbers to the bittersweet echoes of lost love—while the duo’s nuanced interplay reveals hidden harmonic subtleties and emotional undercurrents. Drake’s sensitive piano textures provide both dramatic counterpoint and delicate support, heightening the immediacy of Schumann’s musical storytelling. Together, they create an atmosphere of striking intensity and heartfelt sincerity, immersing listeners in the restless beauty of Schumann’s poetry set to music. This recital promises an unforgettable evening of artistic refinement, where every note resonates with passion and poetic depth.
