There was a time before streaming – indeed, even before cinema – when the most captivating stories were told through melodrama: spoken narration set to music. Some of the greatest composers turned to this genre, among them Franz Liszt and Richard Strauss. With “Enoch Arden”, Strauss created a dramatic and romantic sea narrative inspired by Tennysons’s famous poem – the touching story of a sailor who suffers a shipwreck far from home and returns years later to find his life irrevocably changed. Baritone Paul Pattloch and pianist Brandt Fredriksen now release this passionate musical narration on GENUIN – an intimate yet powerful Strauss experience, full of storm and sea, homesickness, longing, and great love.
