Hommage á Christian Morgenstern

with Claudia M. Franck (recitation), Michael Goßmann (baritone) & Florian Noack (piano)

His humor and his passionate quest to encompass the depth and breadth of life with language knew no bounds. Linguistic musicality, colorful imagination and deep humanity carry his poetry. The music, partly composed for this purpose, blends seamlessly with the words. Playful and grotesque, thoughtful and tender and also dramatic elements are included.

Compositions by Dieter Brauer, Jürgen Wilbrandt, Hanns Eisler, Hans-Jürgen Iskraut & Yrjö Kilpinen will be performed.
