Anna Prohaska & Eric Schneider: Behind the Lines

About the Event

Delve into the song repertoire of war throughout the ages. The acclaimed Austrian soprano and renowned accompanist Eric Schneider revisit their eponymous album of music that goes 'behind the lines' as soldier, child of war, left‐behind love, and national heroine.

Among a fascinating and varied program, certain works are infrequently heard, yet stand out among the more familiar, such as Quilter's 'Fear no more the heat of the sun', or Wolf's Der Soldat. Liszt's dramatic Jeanne d’Arc au bûcher and Hanns Eisler's 'War Song of a Child' are just two of the rare gems on offer here.
