Programme

Anja Mittermüller is making her Spanish debut not simply as a performer presenting a repertoire, but rather as a voice that brings a wealth of experience and personality to the stage. European critics have highlighted a rare combination in her lied and opera performances: a timbre rich in nuances, a flexible singing style and control of phrasing that allows each word to breathe with dramatic meaning. Her vocal presence brings together transparency and intensity, and transforms the text into a driver for expression.

The journey of the recital opens with Franz Schubert, whose music unfolds like an intimate story that demands a balance between form and emotion. Manuel de Falla’s Siete canciones populares españolas transport the listener to a world where folklore transforms into refined art, with a style that demands rhythmic precision and awareness of colour. The lieder of Gabriel Fauré and Henri Duparc call for subtlety and harmonic density, while Richard Strauss’s songs require sonic expansion and expressive strength. A journey through different approaches that reveals the versatility of a voice in constant evolution.
