Masterclass Thomas Hampson
Thomas Hampson ist mittlerweile zum dritten Mal beim Heidelberger Frühling zu Gast und wird auch in diesem Jahr eine Lied-Masterclass geben. Ausgewählte Nachwuchssänger erhalten die Chance, unter Anleitung des amerikanischen Star-Baritons unterschiedliche Vertonungen von Gedichten Heinrich Heines, Friedrich Rückerts und Joseph von Eichendorffs zu erarbeiten. Der musikalische Schwerpunkt des Interpretationskurses liegt auf der Romantik und ihrem spezifischen Umgang mit dichterischer Ironie, mit Tönen, Tonfällen und Zwischentönen zwischen Symbol und Realität. Wie beim Heidelberger Frühling 06 wird Wolfram Rieger die Kursteilnehmer als Klavierbegleiter unterstützen.
Der Heidelberger Frühling lädt junge Sängerinnen ein sich für den Liedinterpretationskurs mit Thomas Hampson zu bewerben.
