End of the 70s I first heard this fascinating musical journey through Heine's great poetry with a friend and was impressed. He gave me a cassette of it - I listened to over and over again. But such cartridges do not last "forever" - and also the friendships not ... And then I have from time to time thereafter researched - and finally found here. And now me this musical work even better than it was like - because I can understand Heine's poetry from the life experience, and better music, the statements brings even more effective - so just a great work.
