Jörg Widmann
Das heiße Herz
In 2013, Jörg Widmann composed his first—and to date his only—song cycle. Das heiße Herz (“The Burning Heart”) is based on the works of a wide range of authors, including Clemens Brentano, Heinrich Heine, Klabund, and Peter Härtling, as well as lesser known poems from Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Christian Immler and Andreas Frese, who have won acclaim for their collaboration on the cycle’s premiere recording, perform Widmann’s songs opposite works by Schumann and Mahler.
