87. Nature's Songbook
21 October 2021, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Regretfully, Anna Stéphany has withdrawn from this recital. We are grateful to the wonderful mezzo-soprano Marta Fontanals-Simmons for stepping in at short notice. Together with Sholto Kynoch, Marta peforms Mahler's Rückert-Lieder, his glorious settings of Friedrich Rückert, and selections from Berlioz's Les nuits d'été. Their programme also includes Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis exploring the sensuous and suggestive world of Pan and the dryads, and two of Fauré's most celebrated songs, Après un rêve and Soir.
