About this event

In part thirty-one of Schubertreise, in which Conor Biggs and Michel Stas continue their exploration of the vast output of Schubert’s songs.

This concert is dominated by the strange poetry of Novalis, the pseudonym of Friedrich Leopold von Hardenberg (1772-1801). The death of his fiancée led to a religious crisis and a marked penchant for things spiritual. His poetry is a combination of the erotic and the sacramental:

‘One day all will be one body; one body, the blessed couple swim in celestial blood.’
