Rediscovery: Lost Treasure of European Art Song
The highlight of long-term cooperation between the label eda records and Deutschlandfunk Kultur: on June 4, the world premiere recordings of all songs and melodramas by the Polish-Jewish composer Szymon Laks (1901 – 1983) – long known primarily for the account of his survival „Music of Another World“ – will be released.
Owing to the outstanding quality of the music as well as of the Polish and French texts, but above all against the background of the experiences that flowed into them and make them a testimony to deeply moving humanism, these works deserve a special place in the musical history of the twentieth century.
Performers: Ania Vegry, soprano; Dominique Horwitz, speaker; Katarzyna Wasiak, piano
