Songs from Franz Schubert to David Bowie

Olivia Vermeulen, mezzo-soprano
Jan Philip Schulze, piano

A song recital can bring together very diverse elements to form a kind of concept album: this can result in a risky juxtaposition of strange old music and irritatingly modern pieces, with familiar classics sounding out right next to pop ballads. When everything seems so natural, as if it couldn't be any other way, then a concept like In Heaven has succeeded.
