Elegant Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter is universally recognized for her versatility, zest for unconventional partnerships, and superlative skill at conveying a work’s textual meaning through her insightful musical interpretation. South African-born Australian pianist Kristian Bezuidenhout, one of today’s most exciting keyboard artists, collaborates with von Otter on a program featuring selections by Schubert and Lindblad, as well as a Mozart selection for piano.
Von Otter, an audience favorite for major roles in the world’s largest opera houses throughout her storied career, truly shines in the intimate setting of a song recital. In this performance, Bezuidenhout and von Otter create an atmosphere where subtlety, detail, and delicacy showcase the interplay of text, music, meaning, and drama in a compelling and unforgettable recital.
