    2018/19 Season January - March 2019 2 • This spring, two of today's greatest Lieder interpreters, the German baritone Christian Gerhaher and his regular pianist Gerold Huber, return to survey one of the summits of the repertoire, Schubert’s psychologically intense Winterreise. Harry Christophers and The Sixteen join us with a programme of odes, written to welcome Charles II back Director’s to London from his visits to Newmarket, alongside excerpts from Purcell's incidental music to Theodosius, Nathaniel Lee's 1680 tragedy. Introduction Leading Schubert interpreter Christian Zacharias delves into the composer’s unique melodic, harmonic and thematic flourishes in his lecture-recital. Through close examination of these musical hallmarks and idiosyncrasies, he takes us on a journey to the very essence of Schubert’s style. With her virtuosic ability to sing anything from new works to Baroque opera and Romantic Lieder with exceptional quality, Marlis Petersen is one of the most enterprising singers today. Her residency continues with two concerts, sharing the stage with fellow singers and accompanists of international acclaim. This year’s Wigmore Hall Learning festival, Sense of Home, celebrates the diversity and multicultural melting pot that is London and the borough of Westminster, reflects on Wigmore Hall as a place many call home, and invites you to explore what ‘home’ means to you. One of the most admired singers of the present day, Elīna Garanča, will open the 2018/19 season at the Metropolitan Opera as Dalila in Saint-Saëns’ Samson et Dalila. Her programme in February – comprising four major cycles – includes Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, two of which were identified by the composer himself as studies for Tristan und Isolde.

Andante.

Eller´s legacy is twofold – in his prolific instrumental compositions he forged an elaborate style that successfully combined both modern and national elements, and as a prominent professor of composition during half a century he influenced generations of Estonian composers, amongst them Eduard Tubin (1905–1982) Arvo Pärt (b. 1935) and Lepo Sumera (1950–2000). Eller´s best known composition, Kodumaine viis (‘Homeland tune’) for string orchestra, rose to prominence during the 1950s and 1960s as the chief vehicle for expressing national feelings and identity under Soviet occupation. The work remains to this day an instrumental equivalent of a national anthem, in its importance bearing comparison to Jean Sibelius´s Finlandia. In the independent Estonia of the 1920s and 1930s Eller was considered the leading modernist of the country, and his music was extolled for its novelty and technical prowess. In 1925 the founding father of modern musicology, prof. Guido Adler from the Vienna University attested to Eller´s music being the continuation of Grieg´s ‘Northern style’ and a successful synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
