Schubert I: The trout As inspired by Schubert's Lied Die Forelle, which Victoria de los Ángeles often performed in her recitals, James Newby and Joseph Middleton have put together this program around flora and fauna for their debut at the Petit Palau of the Palau de la Música Catalana. In a spontaneous celebration of nature, baritone and pianist offer this program that includes Lieder by Schubert, Brahms or Mahler with others by Chausson, Rorem or Cole Porter with nature themes. James Newby, who has been named an ECHO Rising Star this season, is one of the most emerging names in the current liederistic scene, with a vocal and interpretive quality that follows the line of the great English tradition. He offers this presentation recital in Barcelona together with Joseph Middleton, a regular pianist at the Festival and who was resident artist in 2022.
