Powerhouse German baritone Michael Volle is a star of the international opera stage, and one of todays most exciting interpreters of Wagner, Strauss, Verdi and more. With a voice of huge strength and kaleidoscopic colour, hes also a masterful recitalist " and performs a gloriously dramatic, romantic programme for his return to the International Festival.
Joined by regular recital partner Helmut Deutsch, a respected piano soloist in his own right, Volle explores the one-man mini-opera of medieval romance and valiant chivalry in Schuberts gripping cliffhanger Der Taucher, alongside the blistering heroism and bawdy humour of a selection from Mahlers Wunderhorn songs.
He closes with three opulent Lieder by Richard Strauss, and the ravishing, lyrical beauty of Mahlers intimate Rckert-Lieder.
