Bekannte unbekannte Beethoven-Lieder: Ian Bostridge mit Liedern und Volksliedern

Mit seinen Liedaufnahmen hat er großartige Schubert- und Schumann-Interpretationen vorgelegt, und es ist kaum verwunderlich, dass sich der englische Tenor Ian Bostridge im Beethovenjahr dem vokalen Schaffen des Jubilars widmet. Doch Bostridge, der stets auch das kulturelle Umfeld seines Repertoires und dessen geistige Grundlagen studiert, belässt es nicht bei den bekannten Werken. Vom berühmten Zyklus An die ferne Geliebte aus erkundet er weitere Einzellieder und das bisher wenig beachtete Repertoire von Beethovens Volksliedbearbeitungen, das sich als wahrer Schatz entpuppt.
