Baritone Harrison Hintzsche traces the art of the Romantic song tradition in Scandinavia and Vienna—singing in Swedish, and German—over the course of the 19th and into the early 20th century. The link between these different cultural sensibilities is two Scandinavian cosmopolitans—Jean Sibelius and Wilhelm Stenhammar, who set German texts and their native Swedish with remarkable confidence and originality. At the center of this program is a selection of songs by Franz Schubert composed in the 1820s, which established the tradition of art song in Vienna for later Romantic composers such as Hugo Wolf and Alexander Zemlinsky. Hintzsche is joined by pianist Cade Roberts, who additionally will present solo keyboard works by Sibelius, Schubert and Zemlinsky, all of whom left rich legacies to this genre.
