JULIAN PRÉGARDIEN tenor
SIR ANDRÁS SCHIFF piano
SCHUBERT Die schöne Müllerin D. 795 Op. 25
La Source Vive welcomes one of the most enchanting cycles of the repertoire, emblematic of the art of the Lied which Schubert took to its pinnacle, inspired many times by his contemporary Müller and by the romanticism of the century, reflecting a confiding nature inviting bucolic poetry, the poet’s tormented soul yields here to love, to solitude, and to wandering. Two great performers of Schubert join us on this poignant journey of mixed fortune: Julian Prégardien, whose voice and artistic intent have flourished beyond the opera stage in Schubert’s songs just as much as in Bach’s Passions, and András Schiff, who for many years has made the pianistic universe of the composer his chosen domain - a lifelong adventure.
