Emotional music by Schubert, the Schumanns and Brahms. This chamber concert with the Gothenburg Symphony Vocal Ensemble and conductor Katie Thomas offers choir lyricism at its loveliest. Seated at the piano is Juan Zurutuza. 

For a period of time in the nineteenth century, it was considered beautiful and noble to cry, for both men and women. Emotions abound in this evening’s music, which mentions kisses and gondolas, a nun who lives in isolation and a weary wanderer who encounters a fiddler. Brahms’ canon asserts that love is monotonous – but still, we cannot resist it. Onward! urges Clara Schumann: only the brave win paradise. 

We hear a women’s choir, men’s choir, mixed choir, duets and vocal soloists accompanied by Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra’s pianist Juan Zurutuza.
