Link to the Show / Show NotesGregory Massingham and Stephen Emmerson perform a selection of lieder drawing upon Schubert's posthumous collection Schwanengesang, in particular those that deal with themes of water and night, as well as other lieder from various periods of Schubert's life that explore the same themes.
The Dörr fortepiano featured in this concert was built circa 1820 by Daniel Dörr (1789-1837), thus within the lifetimes of both Schubert and Beethoven, for whose later works it is well suited.
