“Two of classical song’s brightest artists” (‘The Guardian’) appear in Leeds on the back of recitals in Graz Musikverein, Wigmore Hall and the ‘home’ of Schubert song: the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg.

For Leeds Lieder they perform extracts from their recent and much-lauded recital CD, which was selected as a ‘Gramophone’ Editor‘s Choice, and as with their other releases, sat at the top of the classical charts.

Mozart’s transcendental ‘Abendempfindung’ follows a group of expressive Schubert Lieder. The second half juxtaposes the waif Mignon with luxurious melodic writing from Scandinavian’s best-loved writer of songs, Sibelius.

“Alder is in glorious voice, her soprano fresh and untethered… her high notes gleam, and her words are direct and communicative… Middleton’s playing fills in everything those words can’t say, perfectly calibrated to support Alder but huge in its expressive scope.”– The Guardian, on a recent Wigmore Hall recital
