So ladies and gentlemen, lovers of lieders and vocal art, here's your chance to savour the moment. The most interesting ones from famous composers such as Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Wagner will be sung and heard.
I do have some curiosity on the "Journey" section. I have heard "Winterreise" before from CD tracks. Time to experience it live perhaps.
I plan to try something new too. I gather that Tan Wei Han (tenor) and Chia Yee Yean (soprano) will be singing the "Letters" section on 17th November at Indicine (of KLPac).
Time to try something from Schumann, "Dichterliebe" and "Frauenliebe und Leben"
Enjoy...

Although this is touted to be the first ever German art song series in Malaysia, this is NOT true as lieder (German art songs) have been promoted and performed by Cantus Musicus of Kuala Lumpur since their first "Liederabend" concert in 2004, which has been borrowed by Artist Platform. This was followed by a lieder recital in 2005 and 2 more in 2006. In March 2006, Cantus Musicus gave another "Liederabend" concert in Penang and this was reported in The Star. This was followed by a superbly programmed lieder concert on 8 August 2006 entitled " Love, Grief & Obsession - The Vision of the Herald & the Hawk". On 27 January 2007, Cantus Musicus gave their 4th lieder recital followed by their most recent lieder concert, "Leise Flehen Meine Lieder" on 21 May 2007 which was attended by Artist Platform's Chong Kok Ting. It is believed by many that Artist Platform has borrowed many of Cantus Musicus' ideas without giving them credit although Dr Volker Wolf, Director of the Goethe Institut in Kuala Lumpur, has officially acknowledged in the programme of Artist Platform's "Liederabend" Art Song Series that Artist Platform owed a debt to Cantus Musicus' previous 4 lieder concerts and 4 lieder recitals.
