Together with you we will release our CD!
With our sound engineer Stefanos Ioannou we - Johannes and Götz - recorded three days in Stuttgart in March. We are very happy with the result and now need your help to bring our «Schumann baby» into the world. The CD will be released by the newly founded label ÉCOUTEZ. For the cover of the CD we have come up with something special. The illustrator Jörn Kaspuhl has illustrated our cover. More about this at the rewards!
Requested by many for years, finally coming soon.
We - Johannes and Götz - have been touring together and separately as artists in the Liederreich for years and time and again the question of a joint CD recording came up. After long consideration and many rehearsals we have now agreed on the two wonderful song cycles Op.39 and Op.35 by Robert Schumann and retreated for three days to a concert hall for recording. The so-called Liederkreis Op.39 after texts by Eichendorff is very well known, many of you surely know the song «Mondnacht» contained in it. The song cycle after texts of Kerner Op.35 is rather unknown but beautiful! Both works were composed in the song year 1840 and fit together wonderfully.
We are in the starting blocks - together with you we produce the CD
With the money from the campaign we want to finance the production of the physical CD. The recording is already done (thanks Stefanos Ioannou!). So we don’t have to collect anything more for that. It was important to us that the CD is a real eye-catcher and we are really happy that we could win Jörn Kaspuhl to do the illustration for our cover.
We will use the money from the campaign for:
- Cover-Art
- booklet layout
- CD pressing
- Production of the rewards
- shipping
- sampling
Here are some examples of Jörn’s work from www.joernkaspuhl-illustration.com. When he is not doing CD covers, he works for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, NZZ, Der Spiegel, New Yorker, GQ and others.
