Brahms - An Autumn

Johannes Brahms is undisputedly one of the great shining lights of musical Romanticism. Especially with his ability to fill old forms with a completely new, rich tonal style and thus to think far beyond his time. As in his symphonies and chamber music works, his approximately 380 songs bear witness to the extraordinary combination of the crystalline structures of classical music, which at the same time radiate a harmonic richness and immediate emotionality that was modern for his time. Brahms' DIE MAINACHT, WIE MELODIEN ZIEHT ES MIR or MEINE LIEBE IST GRÜN and many other songs from his rich oeuvre are among the most popular works of Romantic song repertoire for good reason. works of the romantic song repertoire. Johannes Brahms' ambivalent relationship with Clara Schumann certainly provided the emotional ground for this - love? Or lovesickness? You can find both in his songs. Soprano Cassandra Wright, a member of the Theater Freiburg ensemble, and pianist Harry Rylance invite you to an evening full of Brahms gems. Their radiance and their musical-emotional depth in masterly condensation still inspire the world today.
