Ian Bostridge, Antonio Pappano – Beethoven: "Leichte Segler in den Höhen" (An die ferne Geliebte)

"It’s a distillation of Beethoven as lover, but his beloved is far away and he can never reach her," explains Ian Bostridge of the work, one of the first historical examples of a song cycle. "The sadness of that is so poignant."

The album, part of the #Beethoven2020 year commemorating the composer's 250th birth anniversary, also features violinist Vilde Frang and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt.
