Following his acclaimed appearance in a Young Singers Concert during last season’s Schubert Week, baritone Gerrit Illenberger returns to perform his first full recital at the Pierre Boulez Saal. He is joined by Gerold Huber, the longtime artistic partner of Illenberger’s teacher Christian Gerhaher. Together they present a musical portrait of fin-de-siècle Vienna and Paris through Debussy's settings of Paul Verlaine and Stéphane Mallarmé, Mahler's Songs of a Wayfarer, and Schoenberg's rarely heard and highly Romantic Op. 1, as well as songs by Johannes Brahms.
