Songs of love and longing

Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber perform songs by Schubert and Berg at London's Wigmore Hall.

One of the leading duos of our day returns to the Wigmore Hall for a programme of songs from the German Lieder tradition, including the set of five songs by Berg whose texts are taken from picture-postcard texts by the contemporary Viennese poet Peter Altenberg. The words, like those of the other songs in the concert, deal with the stormy travails of the soul, and sensations of love and longing.
