Product Details

Description

Friedrich Hölderlin’s well-known ode 'Der Mensch' ('Man') is a poetic highlight of enlightened idealism with its classical-humanist image of man. The music adapts to the text’s meaning and tonal imagery, and above all it retains loyalty to the ode form and poetic content. The composition is characterised by the intimate duet between the vocal line and various solo instruments which are embedded and enfolded in the rich polychromatic timbre of the full orchestra. Stefan Heucke
