Maria Danishvar (soprano) and Nicholas Stuart (piano) will perform a recital highlighting three famous Lieder: Gretchen am Spinnrade, by Schubert, and two by Hugo Wolf: Kennst du das Land and An einer Äolsharfe. Based on a text from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust, Gretchen am Spinnrade is considered Schubert’s first great masterpiece and a landmark in the history of the German art song.
They will also include a selection of their favourite songs which they have performed together many times over the last six years. Maria will introduce the songs. Wine and other refreshments will be available.
