Julia Kleiter and Michael Gees: Wolf and Schubert

Julia Kleiter and Michael Gees

German soprano Julia Kleiter can often be found on the opera stage, but she also enjoys making excursions to intimate lieder. One of the pianists she likes to work with is her fellow countryman Michael Gees, an excellent lieder accompanist. As a young man he was called 'the Mozart of Westphalia'. The musicians have known each other for a long time, and they can also be heard together on CD, including in music by Wolf and Schubert.

Wolf and Schubert

When Franz Schubert died in 1828, he was so poor that he did not own a piano. However, he left behind a large legacy of more than six hundred songs. In the work of the Viennese, poetry and music found their ideal synthesis. Hugo Wolf is, next to Schubert, the most important song composer. In his style, initially based on the songs of Schubert and Schumann, he developed into a pioneer of modernism.
