Anthology "Urlicht". Orchestral Lieder of Death and Resurrection Samuel Hasselhorn, Poznań Philharmonic, Orchestra, Łukasz Borowicz

At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the lied increasingly took on orchestral garb. The boundary with opera became almost impalpable. That is what Samuel Hasselhorn and Łukasz Borowicz demonstrate here, in a splendid programme mingling smiles and disillusionment, where some of the most characteristic orchestral lieder and operatic arias of this Austro-German ‘fin de siècle’ era blend perfectly together.
