Isabelle Gichtbrock, text selection and recitation

A musical and literary program with works by Handel, Scarlatti, Schumann and Brahms, among others, and texts on the 12 months by Hermann Hesse.

"Hermann Hesse can do what few can: He can not only describe a refreshing summer evening—that wouldn't be difficult. But he can make us feel hot and cool and tired and heavy at heart."

Kurt Tucholsky on Hesse’s depictions of nature
