Ras i curt
Què ens hi trobarem?
Julia Kleiter i Julius Drake presenten un programa bellíssim en el qual tres compositors de la primera generació plenament romàntica, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt i Richard Wagner, que van abordar el lied de manera molt diferent, comparteixen l'espai amb el compositor que probablement va tancar el tardoromanticisme, Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
L'obra destacada
Unvergänglichkeit, un cicle de quatre cançons que Korngold va compondre el 1933, parla de la vigència de l'amor malgrat les dificultats i el pas del temps. La cançó inicial, que dona nom al cicle, es repeteix per tancar-lo, creant així un moment màgic que insisteix en la creença en la immortalitat de l'amor.
