mercy seat – winterreise

Actor Charly Hübner and the Ensemble Resonanz, complemented by a jazz trio consisting of Kalle Kalima, Carlos Bica and Max Andrzejewski, allow the world of Schubert’s “Winterreise” to meet the songs of Australian lyricist and singer Nick Cave. The spirits of this séance speak of unhappy love. Of pain. Of guilt. Of failure. Of loneliness. Of great failure and of death. No place, nowhere. Or: All beauty must die … In Tobias Schwencke’s arrangements, two musical worlds overlap, begin to dance with each other and finally merge into a new, confusing unity. Hübner expresses Schubert’s and Cave’s songs in a very direct, almost unpolished way, telling a story of longing, despair and consolation.
