Heinz HolligerAbout
Lenau's last, fragmentary writings have fired Holliger's imagination and led to the creation of an intricately inventive work with a marvellously evocative lead role for baritone Christian Gerhaher.
The 2-CD set, in slipcase, is accompanied by an an extensive 120-page German-English booklet with the full libretto by Händl Klaus and synopses of each of the opera's 23 scenes, as well as a liner essay by Roman Brotbeck, a performer's note by Christian Gerhaher, score fragments, performance photography, and more.
"Here Gerhaher can display his full sensitivity in dealing with the finest nuances of language and bring to bear his almost unlimited spectrum of tonal-dynamic gradations in the intonation. The poet Lenau speaks most directly from the sounds and notes..." – Neue Zürcher Zeitung
