Joseph Middleton “one of the brightest stars in the world of song and Lieder”

Wolf’s evocative settings of Tuscan and Venetian lyrics, brought to life here by three outstanding Lieder interpreters, move from delight in small things to a sense of wonder at the vastness of creation and the all-consuming power of love. The trio will perform Wolf's Italian Songbook this season at London's Wigmore Hall, the Vienna Musikverein, the Frankfurt Opera and in Barcelona.

One of the most in demand artists today, British soprano Louise Alder has firmly established herself as 'an instinctive singing actress’ (The Arts Desk) and a 'terrific talent, combining a big lustrous voice with flawless intonation and a keen intelligence (The Times). A hugely versitile artist she is equally at home on the world’s most important opera, concert and recital venues such as Royal Opera House, Wiener Staatsoper, Glyndebourne Festival, Bayerische Staatsoper, Carnegie Hall and Wigmore Hall.

Mauro Peter, one of the most sought-after classical tenors of his generation,  is particularly devoted to the Lied repertoire, having appeared in varied recital programmes at the Vienna Musikverein and Konzerthaus, the Pierre Boulez Hall in Berlin, the Cologne Philharmonie, the Prinzregententheater in Munich, the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, the Verbier Festival, Lucerne Festival, London’s Wigmore Hall and the Salzburg Festival.

Pianist Joseph Middleton specialises in the art of song accompaniment and chamber music and has been internationally acclaimed within this field. Described in the BBC Music Magazine as “one of the brightest stars in the world of song and Lieder”, he has also been labelled “the cream of the new generation” by The Times and “a perfect accompanist” by Opera Now.
