Bastlein/Mouissi - Ich blick in mein Herz und ich blick in die Welt: Songs to Texts by Emanuel Geibel

The German author Emmanuel Geibel (1815�1884) enjoyed great popularity during his lifetime; his support for a strong and aggressive Prussia � uttered in his poetry as well � contributed to the end of the reception of his texts at the latest in 1919, after the German hegemonic demands had led to World War I. Until then, however many of his poems were set to music by many composers. bass baritone Ulf Bastlein and Sascha El Mouissi, piano, feature on this album, dedicated to the work of Geibel.
