October Classical Series 2025: Marvelous Song Recital

Soundskool Team -

The centerpiece of the program is Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe (A Poet’s Love), Op. 48 — perhaps the most beloved song cycle in the Romantic repertoire.

📅 Sunday, 14 September 2025 | 7:00 PM
📍 Raffles Hotel Le Royal
🎭 Performers:

  • Martin Ng (Baritone, Singapore)
  • Issei Sakano (Piano accompaniment & intermezzi)

With poetry drawn from Heinrich Heine’s Lyrical Intermezzo, Schumann’s music captures the nuances of love, longing, and bittersweet reflection.

Adding a touch of Americana, the recital features six selections from Charles Ives’ monumental 114 Songs. Ives’ adventurous harmonic language and unique blending of traditional and experimental styles make these pieces a fascinating counterpoint to the European works on the program.

The evening concludes with a selection of witty, playful songs by Vincenzo Bellini, written during his early years in Naples and Milan before his move to Paris.
