Pianist Malcolm Martineau is the brilliant initiator of this new one-of-a-kind series on Linn. The Brahms Songbook has set the unprecedented goal to record Brahms's lieder by complete opus number. In this second instalment, Malcolm is joined by star mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly and bass-baritone Hanno Muller-Brachmann in five sets that were composed and published over a period of thirty years: Op. 72, Op. 105, Op. 43, Op. 48 and Op. 57. In a time when the middle-class was growing, song-writing was both lucrative and pleasurable, offering a myriad of ways to explore perennially popular topics like unrequited love. Yet, in the lieder recorded here Brahms immerses us in a heightened emotional world, distant from the drawing rooms and concert halls of the bourgeoisie.

After the dearth of major festivals in the middle of the weeks following Trinity Sunday, the end of the Lutheran church year sees two important ones, the feast of St. Michael and All Angels and Reformation Day. Both fall on fixed dates, so that their position in relation to the numbered Sundays after Trinity varies from year to year. Reformation Day celebrates Martin Luther’s historic nailing of his 95 Theses to the door of the church of Wittenberg Castle, and it is observed on the anniversary of the event, 31 October (except in a few places which chose to do so on the Sunday following that date).

Sie interessieren sich für Insekten, aber die Lehrbücher der Entomologie sind Ihnen zu dick, zu teuer und zu kompliziert? Dieses Buch lässt Sie vieles über die faszinierende Vielfalt der Insekten erfahren.
Es gibt Insekten wie Sand am Meer, große und kleine, schöne und hässliche, erfreuliche und lästige, nützliche und schädliche. Einige, wie die Küchenschaben, lösen Ekel aus, andere, wie die Siebenpunkt-Marienkäfer gelten als Glückssymbole, wieder andere, wie die Wespen, ängstigen uns, während die meisten Schmetterlinge wegen ihrer Farben- und Formenpracht bewundert werden. Was aber Insekten befähigt, zu laufen, zu springen, zu fliegen, wozu sie Menschenblut benötigen, wie aus einem Ei ein vollständiger Sechsbeiner wird, welchen Stellenwert Insekten im Haushalt der Natur einnehmen, erschließt sich nicht unmittelbar durch Beobachten lebender Tiere.
