Das lyrische Intermezzo (The lyrical intermezzo) is an exciting mixture of Heine 's biting ironic lyrics, recited by Cornelius Obonya, and Schumann' s transfigured songs of poetry. The combination of poems and music makes the recording a fascinating experience: it is an adventure to get involved in the completely new story that results! Cornelius Obonya, who here performs the recitation, enrolled at the Max Reinhardt Seminar to study acting at age 17, but left after one year to train with cabaret artist Gerhard Bronner. Since 1989, he has played in multiple theater productions. He is regularly seen in film and TV productions, as well as work as a voice actor. Baritone Klemens Sander is a winner of the Richard Tauber Prize, the International Schumann Competition Sqickau and the International Vocal Competition's Hertogenbosch. He has made himself a name as a sought-after performer of contemporary opera literature. Pianist Uta Sander studied concert piano, lied accompaniment and instrumental education at the Mozarteum University Salzburg with Karl-Heinz Kammerling, Hartmut Holl, and Rolf Plagge. She then completed a master's degree in Arts Management at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
