Overview

Feted as a supremely gifted Mozartean and recognised worldwide for thebrilliance of her lyric voice, Belgian soprano Sophie Karthäuser first beguiledWigmore Hall as a prize winner at its 2003 International Song Competition.

Her latest recital programme, given with regular duo partner Eugene Asti,embraces the two languages in which she was raised, German and French.

She opens with Schubert and Wolf’s sublime Goethe settings, beforeunlocking the exquisite colours of mélodies by Fauré and Chabrier.Karthäuser’s repertoire choice also includes Satie’s witty Trois Mélodies,completed exactly a century ago as the First World War raged.
