Late Romanticism within Reach: Brahms Meets Wagner in Fürth
With From the Treasure Chest: Brahms vs. Wagner, kultur.lokal.fürth opens a matinee on August 19, 2026 for everyone who wants to not only hear the art of song but almost physically experience it. As part of WordMusicTreasures, two musical cosmos of late romanticism meet: Johannes Brahms with his sonic depth and Richard Wagner with his dramatic pull.
A Morning Full of Color, Tension, and History
Katrin Küsswetter and Lorenz Trottmann shape a compact concert experience with high emotional density from songs by Brahms and Wagner. The program not only places two great names side by side but also makes the stylistic frictions of the era audible: lyrical intimacy, harmonic sophistication, and the grand breath of music drama merge into a vivid panorama.
Chamber Music with an Operatic Flair
Katrin Küsswetter brings her versatile coloratura soprano from early music and the concert field, while Lorenz Trottmann at the piano ensures fine synchronization between text and sound. Especially in the intimate spatial impact of kultur.lokal.fürth, nuances, breath control, and sound balance unfold particularly directly. This creates a live atmosphere where every detail counts: the blossoming phrase, the soft reverberation, the controlled crescendo.
Brahms and Wagner as Charismatic Opponents
The program takes up the historical contrast between Brahms and Wagner and creates a lively musical portrait from it. In addition to a cross-section of Brahms songs, Wagner's songs will be heard as milestones in his artistic development. The matinee is complemented by rediscoveries from Robert Fuchs and Robert Kahn, those Brahmins who were once firmly anchored in the music scene and today deserve reevaluation.
Intimate Stage, Great Impact
Kultur.lokal.fürth, with its central location at Bahnhofplatz 2, offers an open, approachable framework for art and culture. The proximity to the audience, the clear room acoustics, and the concentrated form of the matinee enhance the listening experience. Those who engage in this hour will experience late romanticism not as a museum but as a breathing presence.
Conclusion
This matinee combines historical depth with emotional presence and shows how exciting the art of song can be in direct dialogue. Anyone wanting to hear Brahms and Wagner anew should not miss this morning in Fürth.
