Schubertian streams.
Tenor Daniel Behle and pianist Sveinung
Bjelland have collaborated closely for many
years, and their recordings have reaped brilliant
reviews in the international press. Together they
will perform Die schöne Müllerin, ‘The Miller’s
Daughter’, a song cycle by Franz Schubert with
lyrics by Wilhelm Müller.
The story follows a young journeyman miller in
his quest for happiness, and in unrequited love,
heartbreak and death. His relationship with the
river trickles uninterruptedly throughout the
work – he follows the river’s beckoning song,
talks to it, and eventually ends his own life by
drowning in it. The cycle ends with the river’s
lullaby, which tells of the short and emotionally
compelled life of the human, and of the eternal
beauty of nature.
‘To me, the singing of song cycles is the most
intimate and purest form of classical singing.
It is my most important catharsis,’ says Behle,
who together with Bjelland has performed and
recorded several famous song cycles such as
Schubert’s Winterreise, Johannes Brahm’s Die
schöne Magelone and Robert Schumann’s
Dichterliebe.
