Oxford Lieder Festival: My Dearest Hedgehog

This narrated recital, devised and written by Henrietta Bredin and already performed in numerous venues to great acclaim, explores the relationship between Richard Strauss and his wife, Pauline. Strauss wrote many of his greatest songs with her voice in mind and the fascinating and witty narrative, delivered by two renowned actors, is interspersed with a number of these works. This promises to be an entertaining and illuminating look at the Strauss family.
