Christian Gerhaher Sings Schumann

CHRISTIAN GERHAHER, baritone
GEROLD HUBER, piano

In a rare US appearance, revered German baritone Christian Gerhaher is joined by his longtime pianist Gerold Huber for this season’s Titus Family Recital. The formidable duo performs a program featuring lieder by Robert Schumann, a complete survey of which they have recorded to great acclaim. “Gerhaher’s recital partnership with Huber is a relationship of equals, in which baritone and pianist function as a single expressive unit, while confessional intimacy and emotional refinement characterize Gerhaher’s singing at its best… breathtaking” (The Guardian).

An annual season highlight, the Titus Family Recital showcases the most accomplished and insightful interpreters of art song performing on international stages today, welcoming Texas patrons to the intimate setting of Moody Performance Hall with accessible and inviting ticket prices.
