Roderick Williams, baritone
Iain Burnside, piano
Schubert, Die Schöne Müllerin
Roderick Williams has mastered a wider repertoire from the Baroque to fresh- minted Contemporary music than almost any other singer, and his recognition in the RPS 2016 Awards as Singer of the Year speaks of his excellence broadly across the spectrum. A much loved frequent visitor to the Festival his recital of the earliest extended song cycle of all, will be the first of three annual recitals devoted to the trio of what are to many Schubert’s most insightful masterpieces, Die Schöne Müllerin, Winterreise and Schwanengesang. His experienced accompanist Iain Burnside is simply incomparable in this repertoire.
