Konzert: Seelenbilder

Benjamin Appl
Baritone

Melinda Watzel
violin

Gabriel Adorján
Violin & Conductor

Touching singing meets intimate instrumental art. The path leads from German baroque to the sensibility of English and American early modernism. An exciting arc: from Bach's arias to Barber's elegies and Butterworth's melancholy songs to Britten's brilliant playing with variations.
