Conor Biggs and Michel Stas return to the Kevin Barry Room with part twenty-nine of their titanesque Schubert series, the performance of the complete songs of Schubert.

If 1815 and 1816 were Schubert’s most productive years when it came to Lied composition (142 and 112 songs respectively), the remaining years of his life see a sharp downturn in quantity, though certainly not in quality. Only in 1823 and 1827, with the composition of the two great song cycles, do we see a return to the momentum of the earlier years.

Song-writing for Schubert tended to be concentrated in the spring and autumn months, while the rest of the year was devoted to chamber music, symphonies and opera. Our twenty ninth recital covers the year 1817, and includes one setting of Schubert’s own text, Abschied as well as the expansive Elysium, a kind of celestial appendage to the horrors of hell, so wonderfully depicted in Gruppe aus dem Tartarus. Other songs of note are the turbulent Der Strom and Schiller’s description of moral dilemma in Der Kampf which we hear in an impressive setting for bass voice. The heart-rending Atys, a story of madness and the Greek cult of emasculation, and the beautiful An den Mond in einer Herbstnacht, in which the song cycles are clearly adumbrated, also feature. Temptation, emasculation, madness… what more could the Sunday afternoon listener want?
