Urgedanken – Romantic Song Cycles

Longing and love – these probably decisive motifs of the Romantic period form the basis of the CD Urgedanken as elementary and timeless feelings. Musically and thematically, the renowned tenor Christian Elsner spans the spectrum from Beethoven to Mahler and Wagner to Brahms. In the song cycles, words, thoughts and emotions that are still of the utmost importance to people today are captured in sounds. One could say it is about nothing less than the basic questions of being, expressed in music and words.
