Of Love and Beloved: Christoph Prégardien & Roger Vignoles

BEETHOVEN An die ferne Geliebte
SCHUBERT Rellstab-Lieder from Schwanengesang
SCHUMANN Dichterliebe

“consummately sung and played… [Prégardien’s] intelligence as an interpreter is as sharply focused as ever, with the ability to make his audience hang on every word, totally immersed in the worlds he evokes.” —The Guardian

Requited love, or the absence of it, remains a dominant muse for composers. Come and hear a performance by celebrated tenor Christoph Prégardien, accompanied by Roger Vignoles, of three song cycles of love, loss, and yearning. Beethoven expresses regret and acceptance in his song cycle An die ferne Geliebte. Schubert laments rejected love in the yearning melodies of his Rellstab-Lieder from Schwanengesang. And in Dichterliebe, Schumann depicts a story of love and betrayal set to Heinrich Heine’s poems.

「皮雷格迪恩對每首歌曲的所有細節都投放大量心思，以細膩溫婉的歌聲表達情感，令人嘆為觀止。」——《英國衛報》

從古至今，可歌可泣的愛情故事都為作曲家們提供源源不絕的靈感。德國當代著名抒情男高音皮雷格迪恩將聯同鋼琴家威格諾斯，為大家帶來三部描寫愛情、失落和憧憬的經典聯篇歌曲。貝多芬《致遠方的愛人》表達了愛情帶來的遺憾和期許；舒伯特《天鵝之歌》中的七首瑞爾斯塔詩歌則慨歎愛情的落差和傾慕之情；而舒曼《詩人之戀》則借用海涅的詩句來刻劃愛情的背叛。
