Music salon // Song: Sung Min Song sings Schubert

Do you know the special acoustics and atmosphere of the NTM decoration workshop? A special place. And an ideal place for Schubert's "Winterreise". The cycle was composed in 1827, the year before his death, and is considered one of the highlights of Romantic song writing. The 24 songs based on poems by Wilhelm Müller (1794-1827) depict a psychologically dense journey through frosty landscapes and memories of a past love - a song cycle that combines Schubert's daring harmonies with his unsurpassed flair for melodious narratives. Sung Min Song, who was once a computer engineer and only discovered singing at the age of 26 on the recommendation of his church choir director, has long since sung his way into the hearts of Mannheim opera fans with his roles in "La traviata" and "Il tabarro". Now he lends Schubert's Wanderer Lieder a voice full of emotional depth; Alyana Pirola at the piano weaves metaphorical winter landscapes from subtle chords. "Frozen drops fall / From my cheeks: / And did it escape me / That I cried?" This content has been machine translated.
