What inexhaustible richness: the baritone Daniel Blumenschein, together with the Leipzig Symphony Orchestra under its conductor Robbert van Steijn, opens the door to a vast musical land. They embark on a journey through the most beautiful German folk songs in colorful new orchestral arrangements by Stephan König. The track list includes, for example, Komm, lieber Mai und mache, Kein schöner Land and, of course, the titular Im schönsten Wiesengrunde.
With a well-balanced mixture of tradition and modernity, this album knows how to capture the musical language of the recorded songs in ever new ways and transport them into the present time. As a result, we experience what is seemingly familiar completely anew! © Genuin
