About this concert:
The Croatian coloratura mezzo Renata Pokupic made her Covent Garden debut in the recent production of Handel’s Tamerlano and works regularly with period-specialist conductors like Paul McCreesh and John Eliot Gardiner. But for this recital in Roger Vignoles’s ‘Perspectives’ series, she shifts to 19th-century romanticism for some of the 250 (largely forgotten) songs of Robert Franz, and on to 20th-century proto-modernism for songs with viola by Frank Bridge.
