Oxford Lieder - Michael Mofidian and Keval Shah: Sibelius and Brahms

Michael Mofidian and Keval Shah were 2017 Oxford Lieder Young Artists and have both subsequently enjoyed immense success, appearing at prestigious venues across Europe and beyond. Today they bring a programme that includes Brahms’s 'Four Serious Songs'. Written in 1896, when he was already ill with the cancer that would kill him the following year and aware of the likely imminent death of his dear friend Clara Schumann, these are Brahms’s last songs and reveal his profound perspective on humanity and mortality. Michael and Keval also include a magnificent selection of songs by Jean Sibelius.
