The 19th-century song: two polar opposites

Schubert, Ian Bostridge and Julius Drake: it is all the recommendation you need. The only thing that could top it is the way this duo pairs Schubert’s lieder with those of Hugo Wolf. Two polar opposites – Wolf is dubbed the ‘Wagner of Lieder’ – who complement each other perfectly. Together, they showcase every facet of 19th-century song. Bask in Schubert and fall head over heels for the songs of Wolf in this recital.

‘Julius Drake and Ian Bostridge are a unit’, Luister magazine once aptly noted of a recording of their Schubert lieder. That really says it all. After some fifteen hundred performances together, the singer and pianist are perfectly attuned to one another and aren’t afraid to take risks. This very risk-taking  makes every recital feel like a fresh adventure.
