Following the successful album “Nicht Wiedersehen!”, the internationally acclaimed bassist Günther Groissböck and one of the most distinguished pianists in his field, Malcolm Martineau, are now dedicating their new program to the subject of love; under the title “Männerliebe und Leben” (A Man’s Love and Life), they explore love from a man’s point of view – based on Schumann’s well-known cycle “Frauenliebe und -leben” (A Woman’s Love and Life).

Beginning with what is probably the first known song cycle in music history, “An die ferne Geliebte” by Ludwig van Beethoven, the well-rehearsed duo then present Schumann’s “Dichterliebe”. Three songs by Anton Bruckner (“Im April”, “Herbstkummer” and “Mein Herz und deine Stimme”) are preceded by further selected songs by Johannes Brahms, including “Wie bist du, meine Königin”, “Unbewegte laue Luft”, “Die Mainacht” and “Nicht mehr zu dir zu gehen”.

Works:

•Beethoven: An die ferne Geliebte (To the distant beloved), Op. 98
•Brahms: Dein blaues Auge, (No. 8 from Acht Lieder und Gesänge, Op. 59)
•Brahms: Die Mainacht, Op. 43 No. 2
