Frühling lässt sein blaues Band / Wieder flattern durch die Lüfte; Süße, wohl bekannte Düfte / Streifen ahnungsvoll das Land… this is how the poet Eduard Mörike describes the rearing of spring as a season of new beginnings after the dark winter months. Hugo Wolf set these words to world-famous music and thus represents just one example of songs about the seasons. On this evening, Angela Riefenthaler, mezzo-soprano and member of the Volksoper Chorus, together with pianist Eric Machanic, takes on the entire annual cycle and wanders through the months with songs from Schubert to Robert Stolz.
