Trifonov & Goerne: Die schöne Müllerin

Trifonov & Goerne: Die schöne Müllerin description

German baritone Matthias Goerne and Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov are regarded as the pinnacles of their respective worlds. Any chance to see them perform individually is a gem. To see them together is unmissable. 

The second concert of their 2025 Adelaide Festival residency takes place in the intimacy of UKARIA, representing an extraordinary opportunity to hear this partnership in a small hall and brilliant acoustic. 

Together they perform Schubert’s song cycle Die schöne Müllerin (The Fair Maid of the Mill), a beautiful “Lieder” based on the poems of Wilhelm Müller. A predecessor to Winterreise, this is a lyrical and emotional odyssey of love and heartbreak, with music just as gorgeous and captivating as its well-known successor. 

In the hands of these two superlative artists and in the stunning setting of UKARIA, this promises to be an unforgettable musical experience. 

Goerne’s instrument, with its velvety crevices, catches darkness and light... Few artists are so temperamentally suited to this repertoire – and fewer still possess such a plush, darkly inviting voice
