Ras i curt
Què ens hi trobarem?
Quan cau la nit comencen unes hores propícies al misteri i a la fantasia, als somnis i als malsons. Aquest és l'escenari que ens proposen Andrè Schuen i Daniel Heide en el seu vuitè concert consecutiu a la Schubertíada, un programa amb lieder de Strauss, Wagner i Zemlinsky que ens farà desitjar que no surti el sol.
L'obra destacada
Sent Richard Wagner un compositor eminentment operístic i amb una escassa dedicació al lied, només li va caldre una obra per incorporar-se a la llista d'imprescindibles del gènere: els Wesendonck-Lieder, compostos entre 1857 i 1858 mentre escrivia Tristany i Isolda (la música de totes dues obres està molt vinculada) a partir de cinc poemes de la seva amfitriona Mathilde Wesendonck. Una obra plena d'imatges somioses que es mou en l'esperit de somnis i malsons que condueix el programa.

Andrè Schuen
Andrè Schuen

Baritone Andrè Schuen comes from the Ladin area of La Val of South Tyrol in Italy and grew up speaking three languages (Ladin, Italian and German), a versatility reflected in his current vocal repertoire. Although the cello was his chosen instrument for many years, he decided to attend the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, studying with Horiana Branisteanu, and Wolfgang Holzmair. With his Lied partner Daniel Heide, he can be heard worldwide in Lied centres such as London's Wigmore Hall, the Schubertiade, the Schubertiada Vilabertran, the Munich's Prinzregententheater, the Amsterdam's Concertgebouw or the Vienna Konzerthaus. His opera roles include Guglielmo (Così fan tutte), Figaro and Count Almaviva (Les noces de Figaro), Don Giovanni, Eugene Onegin or Wolfram (Tannhäuser). Since 2021, he has been an Exclusive Recording Artist for Deutsche Grammophon. His Schwanengesang (November 2022) earned him the coveted Opus Klassik award.
