1997

February 09: Thomas Hampson, baritone; Craig Rutenberg, piano (1997, part II)

Saint Paul Sunday welcomes the acclaimed American baritone Thomas Hampson for two programs that celebrate both song and the literary inspiration for song. In the first, Hampson performs Robert Schumann's haunting Dichterliebe cycle in its entirety, including songs recently restored to the cycle as the result of Hampson's own scholarship. (The baritone notes during the course of the program that the familiar title of the cycle, inspired by works of the German-Romantic poet Heinrich Heine, was likely not Schumann's own.) The second broadcast is a survey of Walt Whitman song settings by American and European composers as diverse as Ives, Rorem, Vaughan Williams, and Kurt Weill. Both programs will give listeners an intimate experience of a renowned singer whose warmth and artistic versatility have generated great enthusiasm for the broad range of repertoire he performs.
