RAFAEL FINGERLOS & JOSEPH MIDDLETON

For his debut at the Pierre Boulez Saal—which was originally scheduled for 2025—he will join Joseph Middleton to present works by Schubert, Brahms, and Max Bruch, as well as a true rediscovery:

Lieder by the little-known Robert Fürstenthal (1920–2016), who, after emigrating to the U.S. in 1939, did not return to composing late-Romantic music—in which echoes of his native Vienna can be heard—until his later years.
