Ittingen Pfingstkonzerte – Concert 4

One song ends, while another eludes its conclusion. Schumann's music reflects on the concept of an ending — as a form, a question or a possibility. Schubert's fantasy loses itself in a timeless space. Ralph Vaughan Williams allows voice and memory to resonate together where words are no longer enough. This concert is about the end. And about what remains when it does not come.
