In his New York debut, Raphaël Pichon conducts the US premiere of Mein Traum (My Dream), a visionary new project “a vast Romantic fresco, embracing works that range from the Unfinished Symphony and assorted Schubert vocal numbers to arias and choruses by Weber and Schumann” (Grammaphone). Dramatic songs by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Carl Maria von Weber (including arrangements and orchestrations by Liszt and Brahms) are transfixingly brought together by Orchestra of St. Luke’s; renowned baritone Christian Gerhaher, “the finest and most fascinating lieder singer working today,” according to Gramophone; and “consummately expressive” soprano Ying Fang (Financial Times). With accompaniment by the luminous chamber choir Ensemble Altera led by internationally celebrated countertenor Christopher Lowrey. Join them on a “rollercoaster ride through the underworld” (BBC Music Magazine) that has audiences rediscovering and reconsidering these classic works.
