| 17-Jun-2013 Konzerthaus: Mozart Saal | A difficult night for Die Schöne Müllerin with Georg Nigl and Gérard Wyss in Vienna |
 It’s never an easy thing to jump in for a concert, especially not when there is a historical instrument involved. The sign on the door of the Wiener Konzerthaus upon our arrival Monday evening, explaining that Vanessa Wagner had to cancel her part as pianist at the last minute and would be replaced by Gérard Wyss, did not bode well.
