舒伯特: 藝術歌曲集(天堂)

卡洛琳.桑普森 女高音

喬瑟夫.米道頓 鋼琴伴奏

The last years of Schubert's life were clouded by illness, so thoughts of the afterlife cannot have been far from his mind. For their latest recital for BIS, Carolyn Sampson and Joseph Middleton present an all-Schubert recital themed around Elysium, the mythical idea of a blessed and happy eternal future, with texts that explore different states of the afterlife by well-known authors such as Goethe, Ruckert and Schiller as well as by lesser-known ones.

Opening with a hymn to the divine in nature, this recital in turn evokes distant realms, blissful eternity and dream-filled sleep, before concluding with a farewell to the earth; from the passion and doubt of Die junge Nonne (The Young Nun) to the beautiful and touching Du bist die Ruh (You are peace).

Carolyn Sampson and Joseph Middleton have released several acclaimed discs for BIS, including Album fur die Frau, a collection of songs by Clara and Robert Schumann and A Soprano's Schubertiade, a Schubert anthology, named 'Recording of the Month' by MusicWeb International and 'CD-Tipp' by BR Klassik.
