Lammermuir Festival - Robert Murray and Alisdair Hogarth

Live from the Lammermuir festival in East Lothian, British tenor Robert Murray joins pianist Alisdair Hogarth for a recital songs by Britten and Schumann.

Live from the Lammermuir festival in East Lothian, British tenor Robert Murray joins pianist Alisdair Hogarth for Schumann鈥檚 most loved song cycle, his Dichterliebe, inspired by his love of Clara Wieck and his struggles to marry her. Britten鈥檚 settings of sonnets by John Donne were written in 1945, and the dark emotions they express were likely a reflection on his visit to a recently used concentration camp.
