Schubert from Bostridge and Pappano

“A performance as intense and intriguing as it was timeless,” wrote The Scotsman after Ian Bostridge and Antonio Pappano, Music Director of the Royal Opera House, performed Schwanengesang (Swansong) at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival. Their recent CD has won more critical plaudits. These unforgettable songs are the last that Schubert completed – audacious, economical but with an intensity of expression that takes us into a new world.
