Songs by Schubert and Mahler

On the operatic stage, Austrian mezzo­soprano Sophie Rennert is acclaimed for her portrayals of Baroque heroines—including her celebrated debut as Galatea in the staged production of Handel’s Aci, Galatea e Polifemo in November 2023 at the Pierre Boulez Saal.


Together with pianist Joseph Middleton, Sophie Rennert now gives voice to her other great passion: the lied repertoire.
In addition to a selection of works by Franz Schubert, the duo performs Mahler’s moving Rückert Songs.
