Classical concert
Liederabend Robert Koller / Riccardo Bovino
Veranstaltungsdetails
This song evening sets the poet's love a special contrast: Heinrich Heine faces here none other than Cervantes, as Don Quixote enters the stage in the two short cycles of Ravel and Ibert. The whole is rounded off by another song cycle, in which the Baselbiet-based composer Balz Trümpy sets works by Giuseppe Ungaretti to music - a musical evening of world literature.
Robert Koller from Basel sang, among others, as bass soloist in Handel's "Siroe, Re di Persia" at the Musikhalle Hamburg and Zellerbach Hall/San Francisco with the Venice Baroque Orchestra under Andrea Marcon as well as at the Styriarte Graz under Jordi Savall.
