Philharmonic Chamber Music Concert
Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin
»›Die schöne Müllerin‹, which depicts a love relationship from the initial phase of infatuation to its tragic, unfulfilled end, is one of Romanticism’s most important song cycles. Rather than singing these 20 lieder in the usual arrangement with piano, Klaus Florian Vogt will be performing a new version.
The piano is replaced by an octet instrumentation created by Schubert himself, with clarinet, bassoon, horn, two violins, viola, cello and double bass. Not only does this newly instrumented accompaniment provide a richer spectrum of sounds, it also enhances the instrumental part as a chamber music element in such a way that makes it possible to experience the famous lieder cycle from a different, unfamiliar perspective. Instrumental interpolations from some of Schubert’s other works expand the cycle, making it a complex chamber music piece for tenor and Schubert octet. Klaus Florian Vogt and the musicians of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra embrace this demanding and delightful Schubert adventure!« (Andreas N. Tarkmann)
