Subtle nuances
They deal with love and the end of life, loneliness and moonlit Main nights: the programme items of Konstantin Krimmel's song recital. The young baritone understands the subtle nuances and is a beacon of hope in contemporary lieder singing. He has already demonstrated his great talent at the Wiener Konzerthaus in a song recital and at Gemischter Satz 2024. He was Opernwelt magazine's Young Singer of the Year 2023, received the Opus Klassik as Singer of the Year 2024 and the German Record Critics' Award in the category »Classical Song and Vocal Recital«. His CD »Mythos: Schubert & Loewe« was honoured with the Edisons Klassiek in 2025.

From Schumann to Mandyczewski
Krimmel and piano accompanist Ammiel Bushakevitz now present an evening of well-known romantic songs as well as rarities: In the first half of the programme, the »Songs of Travel« by Ralph Vaughan Williams on poems by Robert Louis Stevenson from 1904, known as the »British Winter Journey«, will be heard alongside Robert Schumann's Five Songs op. 40 on poems by Adalbert Chamisso. Before songs such as »Feldeinsamkeit« and »Die Mainacht« by Johannes Brahms, Krimmel has included Romanian songs by Eusebius Mandyczewski from 1885 in the programme. Mandyczewski, born in Czernowitz in Bukovina in 1857, studied musicology with Eduard Hanslick in Vienna, where he became friends with Johannes Brahms and was archivist and head of the collections of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde from 1887 to 1929. His songs are orientated towards the song tradition à la Schubert and Brahms.
