Wunderhorn Songs: Birgid Steinberger, Stephan Loges, Sholto Kynoch
28 October 2017, 7:30pm 05 November 2024 - 2:46am
Mahler’s mature settings of the folk poetry of Des Knaben Wunderhorn are among his great achievements and are a wonderfully varied and inspiring way to conclude this year’s Festival. Oxford Lieder’s Artistic Director Sholto Kynoch is joined by sensational soprano Birgid Steinberger and renowned baritone Stephan Loges, both well known to Oxford Lieder audiences, for a complete performance of these remarkable songs.
(Please note that tonight's programme will not include songs by other composers as previously advertised)
