The End of Romanticism: Caitlin Hulcup & Lada Valesová
20 October 2017, 1:10pm 27 July 2024 - 1:18am
This programme features songs from the very height of Romanticism: richly tonal early Schoenberg, Berg’s Seven Early Songs and songs by Zemlinsky and Korngold. Mezzo Caitlin Hulcup, recently described as ‘magnificent’ by the Guardian, and pianist Lada Valešová also include a handful of songs by Egon Wellesz, an Austrian Jewish émigré composer who settled in Oxford in 1938, becoming a fellow of Lincoln College and a major influence on the study of music in the city.
