J Bach .S. / Mendelssohn / Bushakevitz - Licht 800 Years Of German Lied [CD]

?With the present programme we want to explore the history of the German Lied throughout a period spanning some 800 years, from that first light of dawn represented by the earliest music scored with modern notation - courtly love songs by Walther von der Vogelweide (1170-1230) and Oswald von Wolkenstein (1377-1445) - down to such present-day emissaries of the Lied tradition as Aribert Reimann and Wolfgang Rihm. In between we find: J. S. Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, F. Hensel, Wolf, Berg and Eisler.
