Penny Gore with Goethe settings by Schubert sung by Julia Kleiter and Christoph Pregardien

Penny Gore with Goethe settings by Schubert sung by Julia Kleiter and Christoph Pregardien.

Penny Gore presents a week of lunchtime concerts recorded at this year's Schwetzingen. Centred around the great summer palace built in the second half of the eighteenth century by the Elector Carl Theodore, the Schwetzingen Festival has for six decades now been a magnet for some of the finest chamber musicians and singers. On the bill this week are Haydn piano sonatas, piano duets by Busoni and, in their anniversary years, music by Max Reger and the ninety-year-old György Kurtág. Today, two of the world's leading Lieder singers join forces in the Mozart Hall in Schwetzingen for Schubert settings of Goethe.
