The songs for voice and guitar by Bertolt Brecht and Paul Dessau. First performance of the complete works and three world premieres of rediscovered works.

Program
Vier Lieder des Glücksgotts 1944-1948
Wiegenlied 1947
Die Graugans 1947
Fünf Kinderlieder 1949
Vier Liebeslieder 1951
Grabschrift für Gorki 1968

The upcoming premieres and rediscoveries of these songs are planned by Gisbert Watty with the Hamburg singer Frauke Aulbert, who have been making music together for many years. With her work between acting performance, the interpretation of new music and her diverse vocal possibilities, Frauke Aulbert is an ideal singer for this project.
Due to the special literary, musical and historical significance of the project, it would be interesting to invite two other personalities to the project: The renowned actress Barbara Nüsse reads Bertolt Brecht's poems in addition to the musical presentation. Setting a text to music is always also an interpretation. With the reading, we offer the audience yet another, freer level of interpretation. The eighty-year-old Hamburg veteran also represents a different generation of artists. She always reads "what it says", no more, but also no less. She also reads those works from Brecht's original cycles that were not set to music by Dessau.
