Schubert in English, three concerts, Wigmore Hall Schubert in English, three concerts, Wigmore Hall Eloise Barker
With his incomparable gift for setting poetry to music, Schubert could sum up in one word and one haunting note a whole host of human emotions. So what happens if you translate the text into English? That is the challenge explored in a series of three concerts opening on 23 Oct with the tenor Toby Spence performing Die Schöne Mullerin as The Beautiful Maid of the Mill, in a new translation by Jeremy Sams. On 6 Nov, the baritone Roderick Williams sings Winter's Journey (Die Winterreise), and on 11 Dec the bass Sir John Tomlinson concludes the experiment with Swansong (Schwanengesang).
