BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert: John Mark Ainsley
Schumann Song Cycles
Overview
John Mark Ainsley
BEETHOVEN An die ferne Geliebte
SCHUMANN Dichterliebe
BEETHOVEN Adelaide
John Mark Ainsley tenor
Roger Vignoles piano
Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte (‘To the Distant Beloved’) channels feelings of intense longing and fixation on the pain of separation. The earlier setting of poet Friedrich von Matthisson’s Adelaide similarly focusses on fervent desire and the unattainable. Schumann’s Dichterliebe, or ‘A Poet’s Love’, traces a poet’s increasing destitution as he yearns for his imagined love.
