Summary
AT THE Rodewald Concert Society this season, Liverpool-born pianist Paul Lewis continues his journey through the music of Franz Schubert. Next Tuesday he will be joined by tenor Mark Padmore for the song cycle, Die Schone Mullerin, while Winterreise follows in February.
The duo has recorded the cycles for the Harmonia Mundi label, and has now released Schwanengesang. These 14 late songs were gathered by Schubert's publisher after his death, and proved to be the most successful of the cycles at the time. This is not an optimistic work and so it is as well that the recital ends with Schubert's Auf Der Strom, which marked the first anniversary of Beethoven's death. Here they are joined by Richard Watkins, and the cheerful Die Sterne concludes. These CDs from Padmore and Lewis are strongly recommended.See the full content of this document
