In the organizer's words:

Günter Papendell sings Schumann, Schubert and Vaughan Williams

Günter Papendell's unmistakable baritone voice has characterized the ensemble of the Komische Oper Berlin for almost twenty years. With the concert evening "Die Erde still geküsst", he returns to his passion, the Lied, for the first time in many years.
to his passion, the Lied, for the first time in many years and can be experienced at the Kulturhaus Schwartzsche Villa. Together with the celebrated Canadian pianist Erika Switzer, the Berlin Kammersänger presents three influential composers of the Lied genre in one program: Robert Schumann, Franz Schubert and Ralph Vaughan Williams: In addition to Robert Schumann's style-defining Liederkreis cycle, Ralph Vaughan Williams' Songs of Travel and excerpts from Franz Schubert's Schwanengesang will be heard.

An evening of songs about loss and longing with the timeless poetry of Ludwig Rellstab, Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph von Eichendorff - whose texts almost always carry a deep sense of hope in their romantic world view.
