Matthias Goerne + Anton Mejias: Schumann/Brahms at Martin Theatre
Quintessential to the vocal canon, songs based on the poetry of Heinrich Heine—from Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe cycle to several settings by Johannes Brahms—and other German writers are performed by baritone Matthias Goerne with pianist Anton Mejias, who also solos on Brahms’s lyrical and poetry-inspired Ballades. Goerne is “today’s leading interpreter of German art songs,” according to the Chicago Tribune, and is “one of the greatest singers performing today,” says the Boston Globe.
