The program ‘Longing’ is an exquisite collection of iconic song cycles that captures the profound emotion of longing. It tells the compelling stories of renowned poets such as Friedrich Rückert, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Jean de La Ville de Mirmont, all through the sensitive and nuanced interpretations of composers Gustav Mahler, Frank Martin, and Gabriel Fauré. This artistic presentation delves deeply into the universal theme of longing, exploring it in the broadest and most imaginative ways conceivable. The performance of Longing benefits from a thoughtful collaboration with the brilliant pianist Jaanika Rand-Sirp, whose skill adds richness to the overall experience.
