DESCRIPTION:Jun 5\, 2026\nAn all-Schubert recital\, made up of some two doz
 en love lyrics\, horror stories\, mythological flights\, wistful ditties\,
  resounding hymns\, and time-stopping moments of contemplation—this is j
 ust about the last thing you’d expect from the clarion Lise Davidsen in 
 her Carnegie Hall recital debut. Yet here we are. Davidsen’s a brave art
 ist. Kirsten Flagstad and Birgit Nilsson\, the Wagnerian powerhouses to wh
 om her fans like to compare her\, sang precious little Schubert on the Car
 negie Hall stage (in Nilsson’s case\, just three songs). Jessye Norman\,
  Kathleen Battle\, and Bryn Terfel—chameleons\, dedicated recitalists\, 
 and first-class Schubertians all—had the imaginative range for such a pr
 ogram as Davidsen’s but never went that route at Carnegie Hall. Apart fr
 om the cycles Die schöne Müllerin\, Winterreise\, and Schwanengesang\, t
 he most recent all-Schubert recital I’ve located browsing the archives i
 s that of the Circean Elly Ameling’s on April 5\, 1984. Davidsen’s pea
 ling upper register should serve her well for the grandeur of “Die Allma
 cht\,” a celebration of almighty Jehovah\, or for the ecstasies of the y
 oung bride of Christ in “Die junge Nonne.” The Grim Reaper’s low mon
 otone in “Der Tod und das Mädchen” may well elude her. And can her sh
 e scale down for the skipping mischief of “Der Musensohn” and airy sen
 suality “Suleika I?” We’ll see. As many a songster will tell you\, r
 ecitals are a lot harder than operas. You’re out there all the time\, an
 d every song needs to evoke its own world. The gradations in Schubert are 
 especially multifarious. We salute Davidsen for her artistic daredeviltry.
  And here’s a good omen: her partner at the keyboard is James Baillieu\,
  a trusty navigator of Schubert’s Seven Seas.
