Grenzganger, Die

Holderlin

In the years following the French Revolution, Holderlin's poems celebrate freedom as a condition of all life. Gossiping the highs and lows of life in a verbose manner and with fine nibs, Holderlin wrote in a language that is still modern today about suffering from the "leaden time", which freezes everything alive, about the longing for love and beauty and the certainty that man is inherently good. On their eleventh album, Holderlin's verses are congenially transforming verses into songs that have spanned the centuries since their creation. Between "Zorniger Sehnsucht", "Stupidity" and "So I came under the Germans", the fourteen selected Holderlin texts are sometimes astonishingly up-to-date, with music between blues and folk rock, pop and e-music, with hints of Kurt Weill's three-penny opera , Tom Waits, Eisler and Motown.
