Join us for two
startlingly different chamber works in this evening’s Starry Nights program.
From quintessential
romantic composer Robert Schumann comes one of the most definitive romantic
piano trios ever written.
From the mystical
composer Olivier Messiaen comes one of his first works after being released as a
prisoner of war—and his first
collaboration with his
future wife, pianist Yvonne Loriod. Visions de l’Amen is a work that
contains dissonance, chant-like hymns,
rhythmic difficulties,
charm and sensuality.

RANDALL SCARLATA and GILBERT KALISH
PERFORMING
SCHUBERT’S WINTERREISE
Friday, April 5, 2013 at 8:00 pm
Recital Hall - $34
Schubert's song cycle
Winterreise (Winter’s Journey) will be sung by Randall Scarlata,
baritone, accompanied by pianist Gilbert Kalish. A haunting setting of 24 poems
by Wilhelm Müller, the songs follow the lonely winter journey of a poet whose
love has left him for another. This is a unique opportunity to hear one of the
greatest song cycles ever written.
Mr.
Scarlata has been described by The Boston Globe as having “the vocal
wherewithal to do just about anything he wants.” Gilbert Kalish’s profound
influence as pianist in myriad performances and recordings has established him
as a major figure in American music making.
