Various Artists - Auf Flugeln Des Gesanges - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Two great artists of the current classical scene gather here for a unique project. It is a simple and effective idea to intertwine Lieder and piano transcriptions. Cyprien Katsaris writes InchFollowing our first encounter on June 7, 2015 in Hamburg on the occasion of our concert with the Winterreise of Schubert, which proved to be a wonderful experience, and considering our perfect mutual understanding, I wondered whether Christoph Pregardien would be interested in a recording project. But what repertoire? Usually the Lieder aficionados are no tinterested in piano and pianophiles do not seem to be Lieder fans... Then I thought, how about bringing together those two categories of the human species? Suddenly... EUREKA!... The concept would be a combination of German Lieder, each of them followed by a piano transcription. Christoph Pregardien immediately agreed.Inch
