About
A song recital which commemorates World War One brings to mind works by the poets and composers who fought valiantly for their country. But the affliction of the War was not restricted to the battlefields. As well as those who fought,
there were those interned, those who stayed to defend their home, and those who were forced from their homes by the advancing armies.
This recital draws its inspiration from those lives upturned by the Great War, whether friend or foe, soldier or civilian. Some survived the conflict to produce great catalogues of works. Others never made it home, penning their final songs in the mud of the trenches.
Alongside established works, this recital programme introduces some little known songs to portray the humanity of those caught up in the torrent of The Great War.

Tritschler is communicative in the English-language songs and his imaginative reach extends to largely forgotten composers.

This year that begins our centenary commemorations of the First World War has seen a few worthwhile musical contributions to that story, but this is probably the best that has come my way…the performances…are moving and poignant throughout. Tritschler is an extremely humane guide through this often tragic scene…It is of interest far beyond the historical.

The gifted tenor Robin Tristchler’s singing is nuanced sensitively, while the pianist Malcolm Martineau is, as always, an astute partner.
1st December 2014
there are many gems, both moving and lyrical. The Irish tenor Robin Tritschler proves yet again that he is one of the most sensitive and musical of today’s younger lieder interpreters, his plangent timbre matched to a fine sense of word and mood. Malcolm Martineau is, as ever, his superb accompanist.
7th November 2014
Armed with the sensitive Malcolm Martineau as his accompanist, [Tritschler] throws himself into his thoughtful recital...with winning sincerity and dedication...Tritschler’s voice has an unusual kink: depending on his register or volume he can seem like two different singers, one with a shiny edge to his tone, the other roundly mellow. It’s initially disconcerting, but he’s worth attention in either mode.
