Besides her regular opera and concert performances, mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča devotes herself with great passion to singing lieder. This artistic genre gives her – the singer says – the possibility to work with finer details than on a large stage. The programme of her song recital includes works by Richard Strauss and songs by the Spanish Basque composer Jesús Guridi. The Russia focal point of our season also constitutes an important component of this concert, which includes works by Sergei Rachmaninov. You can look forward to an exceptional artist’s interpretation!
