Diana Damrau & Jonas Kaufmann – Love Songs

A romantic journey into love songs with celebrated interpreters Jonas Kaufmann and Diana Damrau, the incomparable Helmut Deutsch at the piano.

“They languish until the last encore” (Wiener Zeitung)

“A deeply felt, rapturous performance” (The Guardian)

A radiant concert at the Great Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein: Diana Damrau and Jonas Kaufmann, luminaries of the classical realm and celebrated interpreters of Lieder, breathe life into love songs of two titans of romanticism, Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms. They explore love’s myriad dimensions through soul-stirring solos and mesmerising duets in a journey through a kaleidoscope of emotions, from reverie and yearning to the bliss of fulfilment, tempered by moments of heartache, resignation, and sacrifice, charming and moving. Adding to the magic is their esteemed collaborator at the piano, the incomparable Helmut Deutsch, whose artistry enhances every note and infuses the music with an undeniable depth of expression.
