Now he and pianist Aleksandra Myslek introduce the rich, colourful late-Romantic sound world of Robert Kahn \u2013 their own debut album, and the first substantial Kahn recording by the voice for which he predominantly wrote, including fifteen premieres. Hugely admired in his time but forgotten since his crude and senseless vilification by the Nazis, Kahn becomes here the focus of a narrative that presages hisexile from his native Germany, given context with songs by Schumann, Korngold \u2013 another Jewish \u00e9migr\u00e9 \u2013 and Hindemith. In the launch concert, they will present some of the newly recorded songs by Kahn, along with carefully chosen pieces by Strauss, Stephen Hough, and the staple cycle of Schumann's Kerner Lieder.\n\u201eAleksandra is not only technically phenomenally gifted, with extraordinary stage presence, but possesses this mysterious, unquantifiable, special element\u2026she graces any concert hall.\u201d Tony Palmer\u201eWhat a delight it was to hear two passionate, sensitive artists completely united and immersed in these glorious songs. Florian\u2019s seemingly effortless, true vocal quality and beautiful use of the German language, and Aleksandra\u2019s rich fluency, thrilling virtuosity, whether in stillness, excitement, or intoxication. Most satisfying.\u201d Sir John Tomlinson\nhttps:\/\/www.aleksandramyslek.com"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/2026\/03\/06\/sturmnacht-walking-through-the-tempest-a-concert-by-aleksandra-myslek-and-florian-stortz\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/03\/AleksFlorian25-184-scaled-e1772800516300.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/03\/AleksFlorian25-184-scaled-e1772800516300.jpg","width":2560,"height":1916},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/2026\/03\/06\/sturmnacht-walking-through-the-tempest-a-concert-by-aleksandra-myslek-and-florian-stortz\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"STURMNACHT &#8211; Walking through the Tempest: a concert by Aleksandra Myslek and Florian St\u00f6rtz"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Londynie","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/#\/schema\/person\/650660f82290e905505348ef8ca79a33","name":"konopkab","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fb1006bc5b4ae26fa605cdf675d5e97c?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fb1006bc5b4ae26fa605cdf675d5e97c?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"konopkab"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/author\/konopkab\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12421"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12449,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12421\/revisions\/12449"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
