This concert shines a light on Schubert’s social circle, specifically the group of poets and writers whom Schubert called his friends. Standing tall among them is Johann Baptist Mayrhofer who, after Goethe, is the poet most often set by Schubert. Around these masterpieces of Schubert’s Lieder output are songs by lesser-known writers, but figures who were central to Schubert’s life at various times, including Bauernfeld, Collin, Bruchmann, Ottenwalt, and Schober.

Schubert’s closeness to this group of friends can be seen, too, in the only setting he made of his own poetry –a specially written ‘Abschied’ which he wrote for Schober’s departure from Vienna. There is also a single setting of words by Josef von Spaun, widely regarded as Schubert’s closest friend and supporter. Please enjoy diving into this fascinating world of Schubert’s innermost circle.
