Sir András Schiff & Freund:innen »Schubertiade« by Various, lø. 04 mars 2023, Fra (2023/2023), Wiener Konzerthaus, Vienna, Austria

Schubert, the one so narrowly limited in time, waited in vain for broad public success, but had one thing to constantly fear: Metternich's informer system. Consequently, his sphere of activity was marked by private circles, which - disguised as harmless »Schubertiads« - provided a sociable-subversive forum for his art and other intellectuals. On the first of two concert evenings, Sir András Schiff and his musician friends will present such a Schubertiade »in pure culture« by focusing on the composer's rich lied oeuvre. Kammersänger Robert Holl will perform as the alter ego of Schubert's favorite singer Johann Michael Vogl, before the concert concludes with the famous »Forellenquintett« on historical instruments and in a historical context; after all, the premiere of this work also took place in a private setting, namely in the salon of the Steyr music patron Silvester Paumgartner.
