Approved

As part of the Schubertiade recitals, British baritone, Christopher Purves will be joining Julien Van Mellaerts and James Baillieu as the speaker to present the three great Schubert cycles, Die schöne Müllerin as Müllerin wrote it, including the prologue, epilogue and additional poems that Schubert did not set to music, in a fantastic modern English translation by Bryan Benner. 

The miller-lad’s story is simple. A boy leaves home for the first time, seeks work at a mill, falls in love with the muller’s daughter, until it unravels when a huntsman arrives ending in suicide. 

The story is as relevant now as it was then. In a fresh look from both the protagonist and speaker, we see two versions of the same story. One finds a way out, the other does not.

The Fair Maid of the Mill, op 25 D. 795 by Schubert, From (2022/2022), Conductor James Baillieu, Holland Park, London, United Kingdom
