Matthias Goerne & Mikhail Pletnev Live at Théâtre des Champs-Élysées Paris
A nostalgic, raw art song night.
Matthias Goerne and Mikhail Pletnev, two giants of the stage, perform a program dedicated to German Romanticism. The lied finds its origin in German ecclesiastical and folk songs of the 16th century, gradually becoming a vocal exercise for a single voice that reached maturity in the 19th century with Schumann, Schubert, and Brahms. Hugo Wolf followed in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors. At the end of the 1880s, in just three years, he wrote some 242 Lieder, including the 53 pieces from the famous Mörike collection, several of which are performed tonight. Wolf succeeds Schubert and Schumann as Mörike does Goethe, with an incomparable sense of dramatic stakes at the highest level of emotional intensity.
