Goethe-Lieder: Das Ewig-Weibliche

Marlis Petersen and her partner Jendrik Springer have had the happy idea of selecting, from nearly two centuries of music, 19 lieder centring on the concept of the Eternal Feminine so dear to Goethe (as illustrated in Faust). From Liszt to Trojahn, from Schubert to Wolf, from Schumann to Krenek, celebrated composers and fascinating little-known figures people a recital of consciously theatrical dimensions.
