“Shakespeare Song in Translation”

Song texts from Shakespeare’s plays were known throughout Europe and were of particular interest to nineteenth century composers of many nationalities. These settings in German, French, Russian and Swedish will be presented by singers and pianists enrolled in Professor Richard Lalli’s “The Performance of Vocal Music.” Composers will include Schubert, Strauss, Fauré, Chausson, Glière, Medtner and Sibelius.
