Everything could be much nicer, bigger and better! — Jakob, son of the fisherman and his wife, has caught something. The fish makes wishes come true, granting Jakob and his parents shoes, a bed, a house — what a stroke of luck for the poor family! But the more they get, the more dissatisfied the parents become, wanting more and more and more… and when Jakob returns to the beach and calls for the fish, the sea becomes ever more turbulent.

Franz Schubert: Goethe and Schiller Ballads
The vast majority of ballads are eerily beautiful and rarely have a happy ending. This is also the case in Schiller's 27 verses of Der Taucher, whose setting by Franz Schubert is at the center of this program, which is fantastic in every respect, if only because of its length of almost 30 minutes.
