Music
Swan Song
Taken at just 31, Franz Schubert was convinced he’d be forgotten forever. A year later, Schwanengesang., his so-called swan song, was published. Revealing some of his most quietly devastating songs, it speaks of longing, loneliness and love just out of reach. Now, far from forgotten, Schubert is one of the most cherished composers in classical music. The connection he so longed for spanning the centuries. And with no one more so than Swedish baritone Peter Mattei. Renowned for his deep affinity for Schubert’s music, his warm, searching voice is perfectly suited to its understated emotion. .
