Chapeau, Mr. Hofmann!

What a joy! So it is but that a musician remains true, yet refined. On the new CD it creates Klaus Hoffmann - unlike his old pal Reinhard Mey on his last CD - known Hoffmann's areas with new ideas and images (outside the tomb; you even see thick) imagine. His love songs make it as always to exceed with instinctive certainty the fine line between romance and Kitsch never. His lyrics are as always not very easy to use, but require real listening, which is particularly noteworthy given the widespread arbitrariness today's German title. The music is old and new at the same time. Knowing also melody and mood, instrumentation and musical package with pleasing other than to Melancholia and Inseliedern. "From this world," is a - but become very strong piece of German art song - though relatively brief. Chapeau, Mr. Hoffmann!
