About this concert
Whatever fills the heart, the score is overflowing with it. Beethoven also wrote songs full of longing and tenderness in which the plea to the beloved and the despair of the insecure heart resound. With Piet Kuijken at the keyboard, star baritone Dietrich Henschel tackles Adelaide and An die ferne Geliebte, and through poetry by Goethe and Metastasio ends up with Lied legend Franz Schubert.

About the performers
Baritone Dietrich Henschel is a regular guest at major opera houses, performing major roles in Rossini’s Figaro, Monteverdi’s Ulisse and Orfeo, Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Wagner’s Tannhäuser, and Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress, among others. He has worked with renowned conductors such as Riccardo Chailly, Kent Nagano and Semyon Bychkov. His collaborations with John Eliot Gardiner, Philippe Herreweghe, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Colin Davis are documented on numerous oratorio recordings. In addition to his operatic work, Dietrich Henschel is committed to the performance of lieder and concert works for voice. His repertoire stretches from Monteverdi to the avant-garde.
Piet Kuijken teaches piano and fortepiano at the conservatories of Brussels and Antwerp, and gives chamber music lessons at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent. His career as a soloist and chamber musician on piano, harpsichord and pianoforte has taken him to important festivals and concert halls in Europe, Japan and Mexico. In 2013 Kuijken, together with violinist Naaman Sluchin, founded the Talisma Ensemble, which performs classical and romantic repertoire on period instruments.
