Middle Temple Hall, LondonReworked as a music-theatre piece with a puppet and guitars, Die Schöne Müllerin loses focus, but the second half’s terrific Alehouse Sessions make up for any doubts ‘A shiny brand new kind of show, a fresh new take on the one you know,” we hear in a spoken prologue to Barokksolistene’s new version of Schubert’s Die Schöne Müllerin, the first half of their double bill at Middle Temple Hall.
