Sophie Rennert mezzo-soprano; Graham Johnson piano

Few songmakers are as imaginative in creating programmes as Graham Johnson, one of the most widely knowledgeable and imaginative exponents of song in our time, whose relationship with Wigmore Hall and its audiences is a close and long-standing one. Here he partners the leading Austrian mezzo in a recital that provides a snapshot traversal of Schubert’s compositional career; their joint CD recital of songs by Brahms received exceptional reviews.
