Dialogues: Schubert | Errollyn Wallen

GLOBAL RELEASE DATE: 03 JULY 2026 SUMMARY TRACK LISTING REVIEWS INFO Dialogues presents baritone Julien Van Mellaerts and pianist Dylan Perez in a recital shaped as a continuous narrative, interweaving Schubert’s Schwanengesang with The Lake, a newly commissioned cycle by Errollyn Wallen. Rather than contrasting past and present, the programme unfolds within a shared, intimate soundworld: Wallen’s reflective songs frame and reshape Schubert’s, allowing familiar numbers to emerge with new focus and perspective. Van Mellaerts and Perez approach the sequence as a single arc, their close partnership emphasising text, colour and atmosphere. The result is a compelling reimagining of Schubert’s late songs, where new music becomes part of the same expressive landscape rather than a commentary upon it – a powerful meditation on love, distance, memory and hope.
