This CD is the first recording of Bernd Alois Zimmermann s complete vocal works. His eleven songs are interpreted here by renowned singer Anna Prohaska, who captivates the opera world with her light and lyric soprano voice. Never had Zimmermann been as close to the neo-romantic tonal language as he was in his songs. They reflect both an expression of intimate feelings and his strong interest in literature. The CD also contains his early chamber music. Members of the Berlin Philharmonic, including the Trio Berlin, present his Trio, Kleine Suite and Aria and Sonate.
