‘Purity of voice and meticulous attention to detail,’ wrote The Observer About one of the greatest singers of her generation: Anne-Sofie von Otter. And that's not all: what also stands out about the Swedish mezzo-soprano is her sincere sound. Happy to share the stage with celebrated South African fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout, he too has a special eye for detail. For their recital in the Small Hall, they put together a veritable Schubertiade.
Schubertiade
Musical evenings in salons and coffee houses in the early nineteenth century, not infrequently featuring Franz Schubert behind the keyboard: the Schubertiades. Musicians, composers and poets came together to pay tribute to the fine arts. Anne-Sofie von Otter and Kristian Bezuidenhout also chose a Schubertiade, with only music by the namesake of these gatherings. They interwove songs and solo works for piano to get into the highest Schubert moods.
