Guonther Groissbock; Malcom Martineau - Mannerliebe und Leben - Works by Beethoven, Schumann, Bruckner and Brahms

Following the successful album Nicht Wiedersehen!, the internationally acclaimed bassist Gunther Groissbock and one of the most distinguished pianists in his field, Malcolm Martineau, are now dedicating their new program to the subject of love; under the title Mannerliebe und Leben (A Man's Love and Life), they explore love from a man's point of view - based on Schumann's well-known cycle Frauenliebe und -leben (A Woman's Love and Life). Beginning with what is probably the first known song cycle in music history, An die ferne Geliebte by Ludwig van Beethoven, the well-rehearsed duo then present Schumann's Dichterliebe. Three songs by Anton Bruckner (Im April, Herbstkummer and Mein Herz und deine Stimme) are preceded by further selected songs by Johannes Brahms, including Wie bist du, meine Konigin, Unbewegte laue Luft, Die Mainacht and Nicht mehr zu dir zu gehen.
