Die schöne Magelone / 15 Romances on Poems by Ludwig Tieck Op. 33
Johannes Brahms composed his only song cycle on poems from Ludwig Tieck’s Die schöne Magelone. For Brigitte Fassbaender, the work has long held a special place in the repertoire, even after the end of her performing career as a singer. Joined by baritone Konstantin Krimmel and pianist Wolfram Rieger, she now presents these songs in their literary context, reading excerpts from Tieck’s tale of love, longing, and chivalry.
