About this event

This recital brings together two of the most profound song cycles in the classical repertoire, presented in the intimate and acoustically brilliant Brahms-Saal of the Wiener Musikverein. The hall, which seats just under 600 people, is renowned as an authentic temple of chamber music, perfectly suited for the nuanced delivery of Lieder. The production strips away orchestral forces to focus entirely on the raw emotional interplay between voice and piano, featuring the internationally acclaimed baritone Samuel Hasselhorn and pianist Lukas Sternath. The staging is traditional concert format, relying on the historic ambiance of the Brahms-Saal—with its green walls, red columns, and liberal use of gold—to provide the visual backdrop. The performance is structured in two halves, beginning with Mahler's poignant reflections on loss and concluding with Schubert's monumental journey of existential winter isolation, separated by an intermission.
