Quasthoff and Schiff

The pianist András Schiff joins the inimitable bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff, who returns to Wigmore Hall a matter of days after singing Schumann and Brahms. For this programme the two artists move on to the richer, late-Romantic songs of Richard Strauss and the Rückert songs of his friend and colleague Gustav Mahler. (Note: His Excellency the German Ambassador is to present the Wigmore Medal to Thomas Quasthoff on the stage of the Hall.)
