What to expect
11am: Der Wanderer
Franz Schubert: piano pieces
Lieder: Der Wanderer, Der Wanderer an den Mond, Das Zügenglöcklein, Im Freien and from „Die schöne Müllerin“
The wanderer was Schubert’s favorite topic, and not just in the “Schöne Müllerin”. There is also “Der Wanderer”, Schubert’s tragic song about a man who has lost his home forever. It became one of his most successful pieces.
Daniel Johannsen, tenor

Franz Schubert: String trio in B flat major, D 581

Many heroes in Schubert’s songs set out to satisfy their wanderlust, singing, hunting, but also meeting a tragic fate. Schubert himself was a passionate wanderer, transforming the songs he heard on his rambles into sublime chamber music, for instance his Notturno for Piano Trio.

A ramble through Austria with Schubert's songs
Welcome to a ramble through Austria with some of Franz Schubert’s most beautiful songs as well as piano and chamber music. To move out into the country, to escape the narrowness of the city – that is what Schubert and his friends dreamed of every summer. Often enough, however, there was not enough money, and they went for a walk only in their dreams – in Schubert’s songs. This is the topic of our Schubert trilogy on a summer Sunday in beautiful Schloss Eggenberg. Daniel Johannsen is the singing tour guide. Kristian Bezuidenhout provides for sensitive accompaniment on the fortepiano.
