Song of the week: Coronach (F. Schubert) - RIAS Kammerchor, P. Mayers
We finish here our review of the recitals at the Schubertiade Vilabertran; The closing concert will take place on August 29th. It is a very special concert because, for the first time, choral lieder by Schubert is performed at the Schubertiade. The artists will be soprano Elena Copons, pianist Francisco Poyato and Cor de Cambra de la Diputació de Girona conducted by Pablo Larraz.Elena Copons and Francisco Poyato will perform some Lieder about the night; I’vei already shared two of them:
This week, the review of recitals at the Schubertiade Vilabertran (which, remember, begins tomorrow) is focused on two concerts that will take place on the same day, Friday 28th of August: Oddur Jonsson and Julia Pujol at 18:30h, and Dorothea Röschmann and Malcolm Martineau at 21:30h.

Last year, I suggested three summer scenes (lying down, water and night) and this year, the compilations will be about the song recitals at the Schubertiade Vilabertran (20 -29 August). I’ll go over those songs in each program that we've already heard on the blog and adding a new one. On 5th August, my post will be about the recitals by Measha Brueggergosman and Justus Zeyen and Luca Pisaroni and Wolfram Rieger; the 12th on those of Matthias Goerne and Alexander Schmalcz and Sarah Connolly and Malcolm Martineau; on 19th August, it will be for Oddur Jonsson and Julia Pujol and Dorothea Röschmann and Malcolm Martineau.
