Schubertiade

Jan Van Elsacker, tenor
Marieke Spaans, fortepiano by Conrad Graf, Vienna (1825)

"Truly, Schubert possesses the divine fire!" exclaimed Beethoven upon viewing a collection of Schubert songs. "The most poetic musician there ever was!" praised Liszt. And Schumann said exuberantly: "Schubert's pencil was bathed in moonbeams and the flame of the sun."

Schubert's oeuvre with its fusion of music and poetry is still unsurpassed today. Intimacy and melancholy, genuine joy of the heart and spiritual torment, love, life and death - Schubert was able to paint all this with ease and verve in the finest shades of sound and the clearest melodies. Tenor Jan Van Elsacker and pianist Marieke Spaans present a selection of Schubert's most beautiful songs on the fortepiano by Conrad Graf (Vienna, 1825) from the collection of the Württemberg State Museum.

A concert in collaboration with the State University of Music Trossingen.
