Over het album

On his final recording, the great actor Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire; Downfall) narrates Tennyson’s poem, Enoch Arden, with its echoes of Odysseus and Robinson Crusoe. In a unique synthesis of words and music, the poetry of Enoch Arden is further deepened by R. Strauss’ flamboyant musical depiction, played here by pianist Kirill Gerstein.
