Art Song Canberra: Romantic Masters

Andrew Goodwin (tenor) and Roland Peelman (piano)

“…having both clarity and strength, a tenor such as you always wanted them to be” – Australian Stage

Australia’s most beautifully accomplished tenor returns to Canberra with one of the finest and joyfully poetic moments in the entire art song repertoire: Schumann’s Dichterliebe (a Poet’s Love), based on the poems of Heinrich Heine and written during his blissful year of marriage to Clara. Dipping into the rich body of Russian poetry, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff both wrote superb songs, rarely heard in the West. It pays to have a Russian speaking tenor in Australia!
