Gerhaher & Huber

Presented by The Cultural Programme at Oxford University and Oxford Song Festival.

Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber have been inspiring audiences for nearly 30 years and are widely regarded as one of today’s foremost song duos, their recitals drawing rapturous audiences around the world.

‘There is some intimacy of partnership here between the two … the sense is of a deliverer of the poems who sings them in his own surroundings, performing to an interceptive audience or to an inner self’ (The Classic Review).

At this event, they perform a programme devoted entirely to the songs of Johannes Brahms, whose gift for melody and keen literary empathy kept song at the forefront of his creativity.
