About This Event

As we reach the 19th century in our Monday-lunchtime survey of music spanning over 800 years, soprano Louis Alder returns, with pianist Gary Matthewman, for a solo recital of songs from across Europe, including Lieder by Schubert, and by both Mendelssohn and his sister Fanny (published under her married name of Hensel), whose final song, 鈥楤ergeslust鈥� 鈥� completed just a day before her death at the age of only 41 鈥� tempers joy with a poignant ending.

The many facets of love are exposed in Felix Mendelssohn鈥檚 鈥楧er Mond鈥� and 鈥楴eue Liebe鈥�, as well as in Chopin鈥檚 鈥楽liczny ch艂opiec鈥� (Handsome Lad) and songs by Liszt and Rossini.
