Lieder de Robert y Clara Schumann by Various, Dt. 23 Maig 2023, De (2023/2023), Teatro Arriaga, Bilbao, Spain

Around 1830, at the end of the Napoleonic era, a renewed spirit blossoms in Germany. A new ideal arises whose purpose is to achieve the alliance between music and a poetic cause that justifies it. This aspiration will flood European musical creativity through different generations of composers and performers beyond the beginning of the 20th century. In 1840 Schumann finds in the Lied a new world of poetic and musical possibilities that break down his barriers against vocal music. The Liederkreis are cycles composed for voice with piano accompaniment that can be sung by soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor or baritone. For this occasion we will enjoy the voice of the mezzo-soprano Marina Pinchuck accompanied by the pianist Aurelio Viribay, who will perform the cycle of Lieder, op. 24, based on poems by Heinrich Heine, and the Zwölf Gedichte von Justinus Kerner cycle, op. 35 (Justinus Kerne).
