An intriguing project, whose programme is based on Lieder and traditional songs arranged for two tenors and piano. Well-known father and son, Christoph & Julian Pregardien, present these gentle and thoughtful, improvisational and communicative arrangements for two voices.rr

The conditions under which Schubert's art of the song developed into a kaleidoscopically incandescent spectrum that crossed over genres and the institutionally set, historical boundaries disappear today as a rule under the pedestal that the late nineteenth century began to erect for the composer. The traces of improvisational practice were increasingly lost within a music culture that stylised the printed manuscript into a quasi sacred object. A particularly successful way of leading back to a fundamental impetus in Schubert's art of the song is through an approach towards the songs that takes the moment of spontaneous performance seriously as a communicative act, without denying the work character of Schubert's music. The idea of 'one' universal human voice seems to materialise with particular intensity in the commingling of two voices of similar timbre, which can permanently interchange and double their identity. Based on our knowledge for instance of the Schubertiade reminiscences of 1868, remembered and noted down by Moritz von Schwind, can we not imagine that the 'Schubert singers' Johann Michael Vogl and Karl von Schxf6nstein might indeed have sung alternately (or even in unison)?rr

Julian Prxe9gardien: In our arrangements we first and foremost wanted an encounter with the prodigious complexity of Schubert's oeuvre in lied and to show that boundaries overlap! Schubert composed the song 'Widerspruch' (Contradiction) in two versions in any case u2013 namely the solo version and as an ensemble lied u2013 and we are now in a way adding a third. With 'Licht und Liebe' (Light and Love) we have also included an original composition for two voices, as well as dramatic ballads, convivial vocal ensembles and elegiacally meditative solo songs which we have 'heard' anew and arranged in various ways.
