Programme:
Italienisches Liederbuch, by Hugo Wolf (1860-1903)

Booking available soon

Wolf’s evocative settings of Tuscan and Venetian lyrics, brought to life here by three outstanding Lieder interpreters, move from delight in small things to a sense of wonder at the vastness of creation and the all-consuming power of love. All of life is on display. These songs are by turns witty, pithy, outrageously salacious, and heartfelt. Tonight’s concert at the Howard Assembly Room, in association with Leeds Lieder, is the first of a European Tour that will see the trio perform at Wigmore Hall, Vienna Musikverein, Frankfurt Opera, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Barcelona and Cambridge.
