"One would have to again..." - a song recital

Schumann/Heine - DICHTERLIEBE
Kästner/Nick - THE 13 MONTHS

Uli Bützer - baritone
Maximilian Langer - piano

One should laugh and cry again, reflect and enjoy; or perform almost forgotten treasures from the world of chanson!
"Man müsste wieder..." is not only the beginning of a lusciously charming poem by Erich Kästner, but also the title of a program that combines Schumann's Dichterliebe with Erich Kästner's Die 13 Monate in a setting by Edmund Nick.

In this way, one of the most established song cycles is combined with the results of the co-production between Nick and Kästner, which are hardly known today. Both parts of the program are characterized by a certain ambivalence between lightness, melancholy and cynicism - the juxtaposition makes the unhappily drawn line between entertaining and serious music disappear.
