• 7:00 PM. Appointment

  The World of Robert Schumann

  Thirteen programmes in an epic series that has been over 20 years in the making. Host, John Tibbetts, recognized something in the music and in the man that "spoke" to him in special ways. Since its inception in 1983 as a few programmes with narration and music, The World of Robert Schumann now includes dramatizations, interviews, critical comment and hundreds of musical excerpts

  (9) Schumann and Heine: The Romantic Irony

  The poems of Heinrich Heine and the music of Robert Schumann were joined together in many of Schumann's finest songs, including two of the greatest song cycles in music history, the Liederkreis Op 24 and Dichterliebe Op 48. The texts and the music bespeak what has been described as "The Romantic Irony", that is, the typically Romantic perception of the disparity between private dreams and ideals and wordly reality, and, in artistic terms, the uneasy and complex fusion of words and music. Song historians Rufus Hallmark and David Ferris, and Heine biographer Roger F Cook, join distinguished art song/opera singer Thomas Hampson in a detailed examination of these songs and their texts (WFMT)
