Ensemble des Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO) | Christian Jost | Jörg Widmann | Fatma Said

Robert Schumann's Dichterliebe tells the story of a love. It blossoms hopefully "in the wonderful month of May" and ends in bitter disappointment. For Christian Jost these sixteen Heine settings are "sonic imaginations of a torn soul", and for Jörg Widmann "the highest that has ever been produced in the combination of language and music".
