Liszt - Freudvoll Und Leidvoll

Together with a group of six other songs including Vergiftet sind meine Lieder , Der König von Thule and Ihr Glocken von Marling, the demanding Petrarch Sonnets have been a part of Jonas Kaufmann’s repertory for many years. He explains that the process of studying lesser-known “jewels” such as Goethe’s eponymous Freudvoll und leidvoll has been a period of intense discovery, during which time he has learnt to value these songs more than ever.
