Franz Schubert – Die schöne Müllerin
Colin Ainsworth (tenor), Jeremy Denk (piano)
This concert marks the first in a series of four Schubert masterpieces featured in the festival. Tenor Colin Ainsworth and pianist Jeremy Denk join forces for Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin – a cornerstone of the song cycle repertoire and one of Schubert’s most emotionally rich creations. Set to Wilhelm Müller’s evocative poetry, the cycle traces a young wanderer’s tender hopes and inevitable heartbreak as he falls for the miller’s daughter. With two artists of such extraordinary sensitivity and insight, this performance promises to be a deeply moving festival highlight.
