Art Song Recital: Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn, and Mahler
Overview
Intro
Yvonne Lang and Madelaine Wibom are bringing works by the Jewish composers Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn, and Mahler to the Landhaus Tribschen—against the backdrop of Wagner’s anti-Semitism.
Giacomo Meyerbeer and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy were attacked by Wagner in his anti-Semitic treatise *Judaism in Music*. Since then, Jewish composers—even those of subsequent generations—have suffered the consequences of Wagner’s anti-Semitism. Nevertheless, Gustav Mahler—also Jewish, but born about half a century later—was an ardent Wagnerian.
Pianist Yvonne Lang and singer Madelaine Wibom bring the music of these important contemporaries of Wagner to the Landhaus Tribschen with their song recital.
