Christoph Prégardien"s Hänssler Classic solo Lied CD debut! Along with Goethe, Heine, and Geibel, Eichendorff is one of those German poets whose works have most often been set to music. Some became so widespread that they were considered to be anonymous folk songs and their true author was forgotten. This new recording from master interpreter of the Lied Christoph Prégardien includes the songs of two composers who perceptively revealed the hidden music inside of Eichendorff"s verse. From Schumann"s compendium of Romanticism, the Liederkreis, Op. 39, to the earthy, naturalistic settings by Wolf, this is a program of the German Lied that no collector will want to miss.
