Overview

Ben Johnson and Graham Johnson open this recitalwith four early songs, including the recitative-like‘Trost: An Elisa’ and lilting ‘Lied der Liebe’.

Theirprogramme reveals Schubert’s genius for projectingexpressive light and shade into everything fromsimple strophic songs to the complex rhymeschemes of translations by Schlegel and Gries ofthree Petrach sonnets.
