Two of the music world’s foremost performing artists, German baritone Matthias Goerne and Norway’s own piano genius Leif Ove Andsnes, interpret songs by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and his Austrian role model, Gustav Mahler. The theme of the concert programme is an interweaving of two of the greatest enigmas of existence – life and death – which these two composers comment on thematically, each in their own complementary way.
Leif Ove Andsnes is recognised as a leading ambassador for Norwegian music today and is one of the most sought after concert pianists of our time. When he performs together with the excellent singer Matthias Goerne, you are assured of a top-class concert experience.
