Overview

Love, death and scenes from the natural world occupy Katarina Karnéus and Joseph Middleton in this delightfully diverse recital programme.

Swedish mezzo-soprano begins with seven charming songs by her countryman, Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, before exploring heart-breaking responses by Brahms, Chausson, Berlioz, Schumann and Saint-Saëns to the death of Shakespeare’s Ophelia.
