Part of the Oxford Lieder Festival 2021
Add to my Calendar 11-11-2021 20:15 11-11-2021 22:15 36 Oxford Lieder Festival: Ian Bostridge & Imogen Cooper: Over Silent Lands All evening concerts this year are performed twice, at 5.30pm and 8.15pm. This 8.15pm performance is a repeat performance of Event 22. This performance will be in-person and livestreamed. Ian Bostridge and Dame Imogen Cooper perform a glorious programme of Beethoven and Schumann. Alongside several other songs by Beethoven, they include his song cycle An die ferne Geliebte (‘To the Distant bBeloved’), often cited as the first true cycle, in which the protagonist sits surrounded by nature and reminded by it both of his love and his separation. In the end, it is song itself that overcomes distance. Some of the same themes of nature, separation and longing are also taken up in Schumann’s settings of Eichendorff, his Liederkreis Op.39, one of Schumann’s great masterpieces of 1840, his Annus mirabilis of song. Enjoy the whole festival live online for £165 with a Digital Festival Pass. All events will be available on demand after broadcast until 30th November, so you can catch up at a time which suits you.
