Písně mistrů romantismu

To celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897), the Lieder Company Prague is organizing a concert in which they have selected the lesser-known works of this composer from the Romantic period and supplemented them with other compositions by jubilant Romantic authors – Edward Hagerup Grieg (1843 – 1907) and Max Reger ( 1873 – 1916). The work of the last mentioned is practically unknown in the Czech Republic, and his songwriting may have never been heard in the Czech Republic. Czech mezzo-soprano Jana Hrochová, young baritone Robin Červinek, violist Jan Řezníček and pianist Bohumír Stehlík will interpret these romantic song gems.

• Johannes Brahms: Zwei Gesange, Op. 91 for voice, viola and piano; 4 Duets, Op.28 for mezzo-soprano, baritone and piano; 4 songs Op. 46
• Edward Hagerup Grieg: Melody of the Heart, Op.5; selection of other songs
• Max Reger: Five Songs, Op. 98, selection of other songs

Interprets:

• Jana Hrochová – mezzo-soprano
