On a European tour that takes him from Georgia’s wine region to Germany’s Schloss Elmau, Sergei Babayan continues exploring the evolution of lieder, folksong, and the elusive art of melody with his solo recital program, “Songs.” Combining solo works with piano transcriptions of songs by composers from Schubert, Schumann, and Rachmaninoff to Harold Arlen, Charles Trenet, and Armenian folk hero Komitas, the program is “a meditation of the highest pianistic echelon” (Die Rheinpfalz, Germany).
