BONNEN - BONNEN LIEDER BOOK VOL IV (LP)

"The LiederBooks series brings together a collection of songs, lieder and chansons. Recorded in the last 40 years by different ensembles, they have only one thing in common, to be sung by Dietmar Bonnen. Combined in a new way, the result is fresh perspectives in terms of music and content. The retrospective is complemented by one or two new productions for the respective LiederBook. In addition to Bonnens own pieces, LiederBook vol IV will feature interpretations of music by such diverse composers as Alexei Aigui, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa, a Danish folk song arranged by Kurt Schwaen, a William Blake setting, the German version of a Deep Purple classic and, as an opening, a song that was written for the film "Moloch Tropical" by Raoul Peck - describing the current global mood."
