The beauty of Oxford id its emphasis on practical performance skills and learning. The beauty of the Wigmore Hall series will lie in exceptional standards like those set in the Boesch concerts (tho' Boesch, Pregardien, Imogen Cooperand Holzmair are also OLF regulars). How fortunate we are to have sucha wonderful choice !Doundou Tchilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469682216179706743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-9745157956504121302015-09-29T12:46:30.913+01:002015-09-29T12:46:30.913+01:00The Wigmore Hall series and the Oxford Lieder fest...The Wigmore Hall series and the Oxford Lieder festival are very different indeed (as was the Hyperion Schubert series). i've been a Friend of Oxford Lieder since its beginning, nearly 15 years ago, and part of the Schubert Circle.

I only managed a few days of this, but was impressed by how the format of lunch-hour concerts featuring several young singers, an afternoon performance of a chamber-work (the previous week two leading accompanists had got together for piano duets), and an evening recital with one of lieder’s established exponents, created a real sense being immersed in an all-day Schubertiade. Before I arrived there had been, among other things, a Study-Day in the Botanic Gardens devoted to exploring Schubert’s love of nature, an evening of songs on classical themes in a classical background provided by the Ashmolean, and a Stars recital in the Radcliffe Observatory. And so on. Someone from Europe wrote-up the full 3 weeks as an Oxford Lieder Diary (in German) on the Capriccio Forum, which gives a good impression of Kynoch’s imaginative programming.</b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01545669011950022944noreply@blogger.com
