A recital dedicated to the Magical World of Lieder will close this year’s Weeks of the German Language, on November 26th at Rialto Theatre in Limassol.

The recital is an on-stage musical collaboration between Cypriot sopranos Chryso Makariou and Mariza Anastasiadiou who have proven through their performances, their love and devotion to the delicate but also contemplative world of the scholarly song, the Lied.

Together with pianist Ζbynek Maruska, they share with the audience the great compositions of Brahms, Schubert and Strauß and poetry by J.W. von Goethe, H. Heine. H. Hart and other german-language poets, who with their words have illuminated the aesthetic direction of the romantic music of the 19th century.

The programme is enriched with works for piano by Swiss composer Jοachim Raff and by Ludwig van Beethoven.

The musicians are also accompanied by actor and director Achilleas Grammatikopoulos, who makes his mark with a two-way communication between the spoken word and music.
