Auf Flugeln Des Gesanges / Various - Auf Flugeln Des Gesanges / Various - Music 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: "Following 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."
