CAST AND PROGRAM CHANGE:

Instead of Alexander Melnikov, Gerold Huber will be playing the piano. The solo works for piano will change in the programme. Below you will find the program overview in detail.

The piano composer Rachmaninov has always been popular, the orchestral composer has been discovered more and more thoroughly in recent years. Due to language barriers, however, the 80 or so art songs that the Russian composed between 1893 and 1916 are less well known in this country. Julia Lezhneva, whose luminous, extremely agile soprano voice initially made her indispensable in the baroque repertoire, and pianist Gerold Huber have now compiled a larger cross-section of Lied releases: Melodically beguiling miniatures filled with genuinely romantic poetry, whose weighty piano parts repeatedly reveal the sound magic of Rachmaninov.
