Song at Wolfson: Songs by Schubert and Shostakovich
20 February 2025, 6:00pm - 7:15pm
The bass-baritone Frederick Long has appeared at the Festival as a member of Schubert & Co. and we are delighted to welcome him back for this solo recital. He includes Schubert’s exuberant Italian songs (Drei Gesänge D902), written in the same year as Winterreise but a world apart from that austere work. The programme also features settings of English and Scots texts by Dmitri Shostakovich, whose centenary falls this year, and songs by Maurice Ravel. The full programme will be announced shortly.
