Hong Kong City Hall, Central｜Lost

Description

The second instalment of a three-year project on Schubert, “Lost” opens with an original re-arrangement of Liszt’s transcription of the Winterreise by Schubert. A journey of lost hope, regained strength and inner pain, the journey then ventures into Schubert’s two A Major Sonata: the D664 that looms with false optimism and purposeful joy in tears. “Lost” answers our heart with the penultimate sonata of Schubert, D959 - the one that repeats with a yearning to live beyond pain and death, just as his music has.

Seasons of Schubert is KaJeng Wong’s latest project centred upon the theme of death and mortality through the music of Schubert. Through his late sonatas, impromptus, Wanderer Fantasy and the transcription of Winterreise, we are touched once again by the emotional world that echoes our heart at our most vulnerable.
