In ‘Tussen hemel en aarde’ Jan Wouters and pianist Axel Freier bring a richly varied program with songs by, among others, Schubert, Strauss, Finzi, and Elgar. The music carries you from the deep resonances of the underworld to the thin, radiant heights of the heavenly. These songs do not form a straight line but a journey full of twists and turns, across the seven seas of longing, loss, love, and comfort. With their narrative power and refined sound language, Wouters and Freier build a musical landscape in which the earthly and the spiritual meet, between heaven and earth.
