Upcoming media releases
2007 will see the release of two HAMPSONG DVDs on the label of the Felix Breisach Medienwerkstatt, Vienna.
TV portrait: Nicht nur ein Sänger
The first is a TV portrait of Thomas Hampson, produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk, that was broadcast to great public acclaim earlier this year. Click here to see a trailer of the portrait.
Schubert: Winterreise
The second is a concert film of Schubert’s song cycle “Winterreise”, performed by Thomas Hampson and pianist Wolfram Rieger, co-produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk and Austrian Television in 2002. Both DVDs will feature additional content and bonus material, like excerpts from another concert film of songs by Hugo Wolf.
