Anna Prohaska / Eric Schneider
Lieder Recital
Hardly any other singer is so versatile and successful, yet has remained as natural as Anna Prohaska. She has long since conquered the world’s big opera and festival stages with a voice that possesses an enormous range, varying between crystal clear and surprisingly subtle.
In both her individual roles and her choice of programme, Prohaska covers every period of music history. Her current project finds her singing of grief, fear of death and pure despair, conjuring up indescribable scenes between the Thirty-Year War and the Second World War. Prohaska lends her voice to soldiers who have to give themselves courage, mothers crying for their sons, women mourning their husbands and homecomers who find their country in ruins.
In Eric Schneider, Anna Prohaska has an experienced concert partner at her side who entices orchestral effects from the piano keyboard. Schneider’s accompaniment varies between sensitive reserve and thunderous power.
