Berlin: Songs of Love and War

Search: Uber Den Selbstmord
from: Winter & Winter

Release Date February 12, 2008
I feel that Theo Bleckmann is a unique vocal artist. His voice as a transparency that floats on the air and doesn't clutter the music as written by the composers he selects to highlight. He has made a name for himself with several collaborative projects with Ben Monder. For my money, this work transcends them all. He brings a wonderful nuance and clarity to these works sung in both German and English. I highly recommend this disc as well as his disc recently released with Meredith Monk. You will not be sorry

Eislermaterial

Search: Uber Den Selbstmord
from: Ecm Import

Release Date November 05, 2002
I discovered this work by coincidence while listening to WNYC. A 20th century German experience tour de force. What powerful work. All structure coordinated brilliantly, original in extracting certain sounds within a rigorous classical framework. Very animated, descriptive, alive and organized. A small minus are some spoken conversations. But beautiful and passionate vocals and inspiring overall. Comes with a booklet where you can read Eisler's poetry in German and English. Really great work, I have been listening to this for a year now and every time it is inspiring.
