Recital Matthias Goerne and Markus Hinterhäuser at Konzerthaus Berlin

About the Event

Baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Markus Hinterhäuser bring a recital to our Great Hall that powerfully revolves around the contradictions and hardships of human existence. Whether one ultimately returns to the beginning, to Franz Schubert's “Frühlingsglaube” (Spring Faith) with Ludwig Uhland's verses, which sound hopeful again and again ('Now, poor heart, forget your torment! // Now everything, everything must change“), find yourself in Mahler's songs, which oscillate between melancholic premonitions of happiness and deep darkness, or engage with Shostakovich's Michelangelo cycle and last things just before Christmas, the festival of light, hope, and ”nevertheless' – the resonance space is wide‐ranging on this concert evening.
