Several years ago, the Brooklyn Academy of Music asked Theo Bleckmann to put together an evening of WWII German music. Fumio Yasuda adapted and arranged the songs especially for this album.

transcendent, shimmering vocal style

I feel that Theo Bleckmann is a unique vocal artist. His voice as a transparency that floats on the air and doesn't clutter the music as written by the composers he selects to highlight. He has made a name for himself with several collaborative projects with Ben Monder. For my money, this work transcends them all. He brings a wonderful nuance and clarity to these works sung in both German and English. I highly recommend this disc as well as his disc recently released with Meredith Monk. You will not be sorry
