4 Women - 40 Instruments - The Recorder Quartet Flautando Köln

Spanish renaissance music along the camino de compostela. With texts by Hape Kerkeling from his book: "Ich bin dann mal weg"

A special kind of pilgrimage with music and texts from: ‘Ich bin dann mal weg’ by Hape Kerkeling, read by Heikko Deutschmann

Reflection, inner contemplation, the search for order in life - the reasons for a pilgrimage are as numerous as they are varied. Whether to Santiago da Compostela or to another destination, it is always about the process of changing oneself along the way. The inner and outer rucksack may have weighed heavily at the beginning, but it can feel completely different at the redemptive destination. Flautando Köln also depicts this inner journey in its new musical programme, combining music from the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela with texts from Hape Kerkeling's ‘Ich bin dann mal weg’. While the medieval song of St James begins with the words ‘Wer das Elent bauen will’, Diego Ortiz's ‘Recercadas’ sound far more confident once they have reached their destination with their radiant musical language and rousing rhythms. The musicians dedicate themselves to all these intimate and virtuoso aspects, as always with musical passion and technical perfection, complemented by the soprano voice of Ursula Thelen and the wonderful voice of Heikko Deutschmann.
