The program of songs includes Befreit, Winterliebe, Traum durch die Dämmerung, and Gesang der Apollopriesterin.
Since this Orchestra and its Maestro are grandly skillful but lack lyricism, the combination with René Fleming --who often brings too much lyricism to her Lieder interpretations-- might actually work very well.

very much appreciate medici but find their website very frustrating. hate being bombarded with music/video upon entering site - let me choose please. today i took a short break after the act 1 of the verbier tosca and was unable to re access the opera despite repeated attempts. am i alone with this frustration?
