Katharina Konradi. Catriona Morison. Ammiel Bushakevitz
It's a beautiful story to tell alone, but even more beautiful as a couple: soprano Katharina Konradi and mezzo-soprano Catriona Morison have created a concert evening with vocal duets dedicated to the poetic moments of life and the winding paths of love. Ammiel Bushakevitz, who was one of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's last private students, will provide the sensitive accompaniment on the piano. In addition to the friends Brahms and Schumann as well as the French composers Ernest Chausson and Gabriel Fauré, the programme also includes duets by the sisters Pauline Viardot and Maria Malibran and the composer Mel Bonis, who publishes under a pseudonym. A stroll through the "Canciones clásicas españolas" by the Spaniard Fernando Obradors promises southern flair.
