Schwarzenberg Festival 2023

Radio 3鈥檚 week of lunchtime concerts from Schwarzenberg in the Austrian mountains, continues with music by Schubert and Brahms.

Sarah Walker presents highlights of this year鈥檚 Schubertiade, a celebration of Schubert鈥檚 music held in the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg, famed for its traditional rustic wooden houses. The concerts took place in the Angelika Kauffmann Hall, a handsome timber-framed building overlooking idyllic mountain pastures, whose exquisite acoustics and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal venue for Schubert鈥檚 chamber music.

Today鈥檚 programme begins with a set of variations on Trockne Blumen (Dried Flowers), one of the songs in the cycle Die sch枚ne M眉llerin, before moving to an early masterpiece by Brahms.
