Between dream and confession, the recital by Asmik Grigorian and Lukas Geniušas spans a century of vocal lyricism. From the wordless Vocalises of Rachmaninoff, Fauré, and Messiaen to the delicate miniatures of Hahn, Bizet, and Ravel, steeped in nostalgia and exoticism. The second half is devoted entirely to Richard Strauss—from the early Stimmungsbilder to the poignant Vier letzte Lieder, his poetic and musical testament. A journey from enchantment to a profound meditation on time and mortality.
