No other type of performance offers such a complete and close-range encounter with the singer as an art song recital. Each song is a microcosm that encapsulates an entire world or a compelling life experience. Songs of different eras, countries and styles create an infinite range of moods. The singer usually chooses the repertoire in consultation with the pianist, resulting in a highly personal programme. Just experiencing the interplay between a singer and a skilled pianist often makes the recital worthwhile in its own right.
