Interview about the concept album Männer
Song lyrics in German and English
“When is a man a man?” — the question posed by the German pop singer Herbert Grönemeyer resonates at the heart of this remarkable debut album by the lied duo Lars Conrad and Daniel Prinz. Their program offers a deep and personal exploration of male identity as mirrored in the music and lyric poetry of the German art song, from Franz Schubert to Hanns Eisler. Conrad and Prinz see the album as a catalyst for self-exploration, engaging directly with the crisis of masculinity and evolving concepts of manhood in the modern world. With refined tone and nuanced interpretation, the duo reveals treasures of the lied repertoire — each song a reflection of its time and a mirror of today’s multifaceted society.
