»Although the festival honours a long-standing tradition and the return of Schubertiade veterans, it also embraces young artists and new voices. It is that balance between the familiar and the new, between intimacy and fiery technical skills that made the Schubertiade grow from a modest gathering to the world’s most significant Schubert festival in the world.«
