Huxleys Innen
The album ‘Tender Prey’ by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, recorded in Berlin in 1988, experiences a romantic-symphonic synthesis: The orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin, conducted by General Music Director James Gaffigan, combines the night-black death wish of a post-punk junkie with the world-weariness of Franz Schubert's lonely wanderer from the song cycle ‘Winterreise’, composed in 1827.
- Musical director: James Gaffigan
- Tenor: Matthias Klink
- Performed by the orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin
