Product description Viennese soprano Cornelia Horak, Stefan Gottfried, piano and Christoph Wagner-Trenkwitz set out to unexplored, exciting paths with this new crossover project Dichter.Liebe. Putting Robert Schumanns Dichterliebe into context through the narration of poems from Heinrich Heines Lyrical Intermezzo not set to music in his song cycle, these popular songs appear in a new light. Formerly unnoticed, also ironic elements emerge, and sometimes even a genuine dialogue develops between the poet, the protagonist in Schumanns setting, and the narrator of Heines poems. This coincidence of humor and pathos, of (self-) criticism and sentimentality that is so typical of Heinrich Heine, is especially emphasized in this sung and spoken Dichter.Liebe. Review A deeply engaging experience. --Music Web, Aug'16
