Lied Recital: Matthias Goerne, Jan Lisiecki

August 18, 2020
Hofstallgasse 1, 5020 Salzburg, Austria

Having recorded Beethoven’s cycle An die ferne Geliebte live in concert with the veteran grand master Alfred Brendel in 2003, Matthias Goerne now revisits the work with Jan Lisiecki, a grand master still in his 20s. Song is a comparatively neglected corner of Beethoven’s catalogue; the program also includes his popular “Adelaide,” the hymnic “Gellert” songs, and a hand-picked assortment of less familiar pieces. —M.G.
