Composer Christian FP Kram devotes himself to an almost forgotten genre. He writes piano lieder – intimate, lyrical, pointed miniatures of text and music. Mareike Schellenberger (mezzo-soprano) and Christopher Jung (baritone), as well as the pianists Jan Roelof Wolthuis and Olivier Lechardeur, present five of his song cycles, almost all of which are world premiere recordings on a new GENUIN CD. Among them are songs based on texts by Hermann Hesse, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sargon Boulus, Katerĭna Rudčenková and Kevin Perryman. Kram's songs are fascinating soundscapes: compositionally differentiated, but always in their creator's original and concise musical language.
