With musical commentaries (Prologue, Interludes, Epilogue
in a contemporary idiom) Enjott Schneider
leads us through the Lieder with piano accompaniment
of Hans Rott – works which are primarily noted
for their longing for death and withdrawal from the
world. They have been meticulously orchestrated and
are intended to remain unaltered in their original expression.
