It is not only the great dramas which display Richard Wagner‘s genius – in the ‚Siegfried Idyll‘ he demonstrated that his music loses none of its fascination even with smaller ensembles. Wagner did not compose many works for chamber orchestra, but fortunately Andreas N. Tarkmann remedies the situation with his song arrangements.Mezzosoprano Maria Riccarda Wesseling is sensitively and superbly accompanied by Marcus Bosch and the kammerphilharmonie graubünden.
