About this event

Songs of the Beloved Earth is a curated song recital that contemplates humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Framed by a contemplative Bach Adagio and Mahler’s profound Der Abschied, the program journeys through Schubert lieder and Mahler’s Wunderhorn songs, interwoven with 20th‑century perspectives by Britten and George Crumb. The evening contrasts Romantic reverence for nature with modern color and surprise, including a Britten boogie‑woogie and Crumb’s haunting Processional for solo piano. Part of Wigmore Hall’s Mahler Song Series in the 2026/27 season, the recital is presented by mezzo‑soprano Fleur Barron, tenor Mauro Peter, and pianist Joseph Middleton. The format is a traditional chamber recital, shaped to unfold as a continuous, reflective narrative about life on Earth.
