KATRĪNA PAULA FELSBERGA, JULIUS DRAKE & BURGHART KLAUSSNER

Lied und Lyrik: Hölderlin Settings by Eisler, Ullmann, Britten, and others

© MaxParovsky / Marco Borggreve / Annemone Taake

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.

Friedrich Hölderlin - Selected Poems and Texts, Reading in German - Settings by Peter Cornelius, Hans Pfitzner, Paul Hindemith, Hanns Eisler, Viktor Ullmann, Benjamin Britten

Artists/Collaborators: Katrīna Paula Felsberga, Burghart Klaußner
