Info for Gedankenverloren

Once again, the collaboration between GENUIN and the German Music Council has resulted in a true dream CD: Katharina Konradi, the winner of the 2016 German Music Competition, has chosen songs from the Romantic period to the modern age for the Primavera Edition. They are set between day and dream, between moonlight and midnight, and their spectrum ranges from Schubert's Faith in Spring to Lori Laitman's tragic songs from Theresienstadt. The flexible soprano voice of the young singer is ideally suited for this literature, nestling in perfect harmony with the lost dreamlike sounds from Schubert to Trojahn – a magnificent debut CD!
