As we enter the thick of winter, German soprano Christine Schäfer comes to Lincoln Center this week to perform Schubert’s epic song cycle, “Winterreise,” or “Winter Journey.” She joins us today to share her recent CD of the cycle – and talk about her varied career as a rising young singer.
Thank you John for inviting my favorite Diva; Miss Christine Schafer to SOUNDCHECK.
I'm still discovering details that I haven't heard after more than 100 times of serious listening sessions to her Pierrot Lunaire recording. So far; to my ears this piece is a challenge to digest as a serious heavy duty listener to serious MUSIC. I listen to serious music & watch serious films 24/7/365.
Dark Music & Films are esoteric to me. Like a black cat they are full of mysteries & secrets. I think that's what makes them interesting to invest attention.
Diva Christine Schafer's website is Absolute Spitzenklasse. Just like her ART. Live Long CS.
Cheers.
Hamid.
