Simon Bode & Igor Levit

A ‘schöne Müllerin’ for the 21^st century. This is what the young tenor Simon Bode and star pianist Igor Levit will be performing. At the last edition of the Beethovenfest Bonn they were a veritable sensation, and deSingel was there. Bode and Levit have developed a radical personal concept. In the process, they ran up against the limits of both expression and tempi. At the same time, they faithfully observe the musical notation. Bode and Levit give voice to Schubert’s mastery in a highly direct and modern interpretation. Simon Bode is a true-to-life embodiment of the young man. Igor Levit’s piano playing is so close to the skin of the ‘Müllerbursche’ that song and piano converge completely. The way in which the ‘Liebesglut’ changes into ‘Liebesqual’ is heart-wrenching. Come and experience this song cycle with completely fresh ears.
