Wagner, Mahler, Strauss at Bayreuth’s Haus Wahnfried
Sarah Traubel sang a recital at Haus Wahnfried in Bayreuth featuring Wagner's Wesendonck Songs as well as Mahler's Rückert Songs and songs by Franz Liszt and Richard Strauss, with Günther Albers on the master's very own New York Steinway grand piano. The sold-out sacred hall and its expert audience witnessed an example of exceptionally clear pronunciation, radiant vocal projection and spellbinding stage presence, that had the audience on the edges of their seats. Unforgettable.
