with “Voices” by Hans Werner Henze

The song collection Voices – Stimmen by Hans Werner Henze (1926–2012) is a multi-voiced testimony to his political and social engagement – from Cuban poetry to Brecht to the African-American civil rights movement.



This is my voice. These words are my words, my mouth speaks them, my hand writes – I am a poet. It is my fist you hear beating against your ear."

(from "The Distant Drum" by Calvin C. Hernton)


Radically diverse in style and instrumentation, ensemble unitedberlin and Vladimir Jurowski impressively address the utopias of the post-war left discussed in it on the composer's 100th birthday.
