Info zu Prometheus

Der Bariton Kartal Karagedik präsentiert zusammen mit seinem Begleiter Helmut Deutsch ein Album mit Schubert-Liedern. „Stellen Sie sich vor: Was wäre, wenn alte Mythen uns Wahrheiten über unser modernes Leben zuflüstern könnten? Diese Lieder erzählen Geschichten von Titanen, Göttern, Helden und der Unterwelt; aber wenn man genau hinhört, spiegeln sie den menschlichen Geist wider - seinen Trotz, seinen Kampf gegen Unterdrückung und sein Streben nach Freiheit. Die Aufnahme dieses Albums bedeutete mehr als das Sammeln von Schuberts mythologischen Liedern - es ist eine Erforschung von Mythos, Poesie und der menschlichen Psyche, vermittelt durch Schuberts Musik.
