Inhalt: |
Thomas Hampson is regarded in some circles as a successor to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau for his mastery of a wide repertory to which he is drawn by an intelIectual curiosity of astonishing breadth. EquaIIy at home on the opera stage and the recital platform, Hampson is known for his passion for song and for the research he undertakes on account of this.
ln this recitaI, accompanied by pianist WoIfram Rieger, he sings songs by Gustav MahIer, most of them settings from the immensely popuIar coIlection of foIk texts titled Des Knaben Wunderhorn . His choice is impressiveIy wide, from the mournfuI Das irdische Leben to the witty Lob des hohen Verstandes . |
