Wanderer
敘事歌曲是指以敘事詩（Ballade）譜曲之歌曲，詩詞多為敘述著神話、史詩等內容。在音樂規模上通常也較為龐大且極具戲劇張力。上半場將演唱舒曼的海涅敘事歌曲〈伯沙撒〉、〈兩個榴彈兵〉、《可憐的彼得》三部曲，以及貝多芬的聯篇歌曲《致遠方的愛人》。
「流浪」（Wander）在舒伯特的音樂中有著特別的意涵，代表對人生的迷惘和追尋。而在馬勒的生命旅程裡，也常有著同樣的「流浪」之情。兩人的一生都不斷的在音樂裡找尋著屬於自己的歸屬。下半場將帶領聽眾進入兩位作曲家的內心世界，曲目有舒伯特的〈魔王〉、〈流浪者〉和馬勒的五首《呂克特歌曲》。
Narrative songs are vocal works based on narrative poetry (Balladen), whose texts often recount myths, legends, and epic stories. Musically, these works are typically larger in scale and filled with dramatic intensity. The first half of the recital features Robert Schumann’s Heine ballads — Belsatzar, Die beiden Grenadiere, and the three-part cycle Der arme Peter— alongside Ludwig van Beethoven’s song cycle An die ferne Geliebte.
The idea of “wandering” (Wander) holds a special meaning in the music of Franz Schubert, symbolizing a search for meaning and direction in life. A similar sense of wandering can also be found throughout the life journey of Gustav Mahler. Both composers continually sought a sense of belonging through music. The second half of the recital invites the audience into the inner worlds of these two composers, featuring Schubert’s Erlkönig and Der Wanderer, together with Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder.
