Holger Falk releases last part of the Eisler songs
Hanns Eisler has left more than 500 songs, and piano songs are also among his very first surviving compositions. On the fourth and last episode of the selection of Eisler’s songs, Holger Falk and Steffen Schleiermacher dedicate themselves to these early works and bring to light a quite astonishing discovery: as an autodidact, the young Hanns possessed an incredible feeling for the singing voice, and the ambitious artist also reveals himself in the piano part. Parts one to three of this edition, highly praised by the critics, retold Eisler’s changeful personal and artistic biography, part four now gets back to the roots.
