Acclaimed baritone Randall Scarlata and legendary pianist Gilbert Kalish will perform a set of songs by Charles Ives and Schubert's extraordinary final work, Schwanengesang ("Swan Song"). Kalish will also be performing Leoš Janáček’s In The Mist — gorgeous music that is rarely heard.
Schwanengesang ("Swan song"), D.957, is the title of a collection of songs written by Franz Schubert at the end of his life and published posthumously.
"In the Mists" is a piano cycle by Czech composer Leoš Janáček. It was composed in 1912, some years after Janáček had suffered the death of his daughter Olga and while his operas were still being rejected by the Prague opera houses; all four movements are anchored in "misty" keys with five or six flats; characteristic of the cycle are the frequent changes of meter.
