Karl Gottfried von Leitner (1800-1890), born in Styria, Austria, was throughout the course of his long life not granted a great breakthrough as a writer: the audience’s taste changed too rapidly, there was a lot of competition, and from the middle of the century he had to endure ubiquitous censorship. Nevertheless he inspired numerous composers to adapt his lyrics, among these Franz Schubert, Albert Stadler, Robert Fuchs, Franz Paul Lachner, Sigismund Thalberg and Anselm Hüttenbrenner. On this double CD, German bass baritone Ulf Bästlein presents together with pianist Sascha El Mouissi songs by different composers who set von Leitner’s lyric poetry to music. As quasi-interludes the singer recites further poems by the Austrian writer.
