Hanna-Elisabeth Müller, a young and successful soprano, emphasizes the importance of song selection in her recitals. She appreciates the intimate atmosphere of Lieder, performing without the distractions of costumes or sets.

Less often than its high-pitched sibling, the viola emerges from the depths of the orchestra into the spotlight. William Walton's concerto gives it a grand stage. Its warm tone intertwines with a colorful orchestral part, also present in Liadov's shimmering "Enchanted Lake" and Stravinsky's ballet "Petrushka". Marie Jacquot, designated chief conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra, brings these fairytale sounds to life.
