Songs without Words

'Songs without words‘ was what Mendelssohn called his character pieces. "Notes are words on a higher level", added Nicholas Harnoncourt. In this programme, Flautando Köln reveals an unexpectedly classical and romantic side, telling musical stories of dreamy rides in Venetian gondolas, of jolly country bumpkins, fatherly love and childrens’ toys, and much more. And also "without words" these stories go straight to the heart.
