| Dorothea Röschmann and Michael Schade |
I was watching
Haydn's The Seasons from Salzburg again. It is an
über-Austrian wonder of music making, with Nickolaus Harnoncourt, Dorothea
Röschmann, Michael Schade, and Florian Boesch fronting the Viennese chorus and
Philharmonic. Papa Haydn would be proud! The oratorio is a hymn of praise to
God and nature. The libretto is kind of hokey—maybe naïve would be a nicer way
to say it—but the three soloists give it their all.
Unfortunately,
the 3sat Television feed kept freezing. The good thing is the screen-cap above. When the
feed froze on this image, I just knew I had to share it—two singers who
love what they’re doing, and seem to love singing together. Here is the link to
the Seasons feed.
