Song recital "The last greeting"
Overview
Intro
René Perler and Edward Rushton present forgotten songs by Hermann Levi and James Simon at the Richard Wagner Museum - two composers who are waiting to be rediscovered.
Worn down by anti-Semitic hostility, the Wagner conductor Hermann Levi died in May 1900 at the age of 60. His compositions fell into oblivion - shortly before the National Socialists seized power, the star tenor Richard Tauber recorded his most famous song "Der letzte Gruss" with the Odeon Orchestra. Bass-baritone René Perler and pianist Edward Rushton have dedicated themselves to Levi's unknown songs in their recording of the same name. These are now being presented in the salon of the Richard Wagner Museum - combined with works by the Jewish composer James Simon, which are also still waiting to be rediscovered.
