Overview
Students from the Royal Academy of Music’s ‘Song Circle’present a recital of Lieder devoted entirely to the songs ofCarl Loewe (1796-1869). Born a year before Schubert andoutliving him by more than four decades, Loewe performedhis songs throughout Germany to great acclaim and wasknown as the North German Schubert. Greatly admiredby Schumann, Liszt, Wolf and Wagner (who preferred his‘Erlkönig’ to Schubert’s), he composed over 500 songs in agreat variety of genres.
The students will perform a breadth of Loewe’s repertoire,from comic gems to celebrated ballads, through lyricalpieces, a song cycle, and much more.
A whole evening of Loewe Lieder is almost unprecedented,and surtitles will be provided to increase the enjoyment.
