Four Last Songs with the Bergen Philharmonic

Four Last Songs with the Bergen Philharmonic

Lise reunites with Edward Gardner and the Bergen Philharmonic this month for two performances of Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs. The concerts take place at Bergen's Grieghallen on 14 and 15 February. Lise is a regular guest of the orchestra and was Artist in Residence last season, singing Sibelius, Wagner and Grieg in concert as well as performing in recital with James Baillieu.

In contrast to the adolescent daring of his overture Don Juan, Strauss’s Four Last Songs were the composer’s resigned farewell to creative life and an elegy for Germany, destroyed by fascism and war.
