The Fair Maid of the Mill
25 October 2015, 7:30pm - 8:45pm
Schubert’s wonderful cycle of love and loss, Die schöne Müllerin is heard here in English, in a sparkling new translation by Jeremy Sams, renowned for his expertly-crafted and sensitive performing translations. Toby Spence makes a much anticipated return to the Lieder Festival, joined by pianist Christopher Glynn.
