Schumannfest // The Erlkings

Franzl & Robert
Schumann's "Dichterliebe" with a portion of Schubert as an appetiser

The American baritone Bryan Benner dares to take a cheeky look at the art song with 3 top musicians. The quartet with Thomas Toppler, Simon Teurezbacher and Ivan Turkalj shows the vitality and charm of this genre, which has sometimes been declared dead, but also its depth and weight of meaning. 200-year-old songs enter our hearts, make us dance or cry, touch our minds. Whether in Vienna or London, young or old, classical music fan or pop freak: excitement and joy are guaranteed with THE ERLKINGS, German Lied at its very best.
