Bass-baritone Stephan Loges is accompanied by Iain Burnside in a collection that explores themes of lost youth, the transience of life and the comforting presence of nature. The programme features performances of Schumann’s 12 Gedichte Op. 35 and Brahms’s 5 Lider Op. 94, as well as in 5 rarely recorded works by Finnish composer Yrjö Kilpinen.

Born in Dresden, Stephan Loges was an early winner of the Wigmore Hall International Song Competition. He has given recitals throughout the world, including regular appearances at Wigmore Hall London and the Oxford Lieder Festival, as well as Carnegie Hall New York and many more.
