Thomas Hampson in Recital: Voices of Our Time



The world-famous American baritone Thomas Hampson is an artist at the peak of his powers and is known for his passion for song. The range of songs in his all-Mahler programme, largely settings from the immensely popular collection of folk texts titled Des Knaben Wunderhorn, is impressively wide, from the mournful Das irdische Leben to the witty Lob des hohen Verstandes. Hampson is accompanied at the piano by Wolfram Rieger. Talking backstage, he proves to be an illuminating commentator on Mahler’s music and a cogent advocate for the power of song.
Voices of Our Time gives music-lovers everywhere front row seats in the famous Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris for recitals by some of the world’s finest singers. And, to add to the enjoyment of the performances, the programmes are intercut with informal interviews with the artists, who introduce their choice of music.
