Basler Madrigalisten - On the road with Goethe

Did you know that Goethe was also here? He traveled to Switzerland several times and also visited the impressive Jungfrau region. Inspired by the natural wonder of the Staubbach stream in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, he wrote the famous poem "Gesang der Geister über den Wassern" in 1779. His poems were extremely popular with composers, and some even became well-known folk songs.

The Basel Madrigalists have an atmospheric program with Goethe settings by Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Johannes Brahms.
