KATRĪNA PAULA FELSBERGA & JULIUS DRAKE
Lied und Lyrik: Hölderlin Settings by Eisler, Ullmann, Britten, and others
Until the beginning of the 20th century, few composers engaged with the works of Friedrich Hölderlin— it almost seems as if music had to shed tonality and for mal restraints to come to terms with the expressive power of the poet’s language. In this Lied und Lyrik program, Katrīna Paula Felsberga and Julius Drake explore the wideranging musical afterlife of Hölderlin in the “free future century” he envisioned in his 1806 Hymn to Freedom. The texts will be heard in musical settings and readings.
