about

For this recording, THE OHOHOHS had Schubert's famous string quartet No. 14 in D minor op.Post, D-810 inspire. The duo is expanded to include the Swiss soprano Maja Bader and a choir. She lends her voice to the poet Matthias Claudius. The horror that Corona spread in spring 2020 also reached the musicians when they recorded their album. So they dealt with the subject and came up with this text from 1792. Claudius plays with the image of vanitas, the futility of human activity, vanity and transience. The personified death is removed from the taboo and receives an almost erotic component. He flatters the girl who eludes him - but you don't know how the story will end: does she give herself to the bone man or does she persevere in her refusal? With Death and the Maiden, the musicians set an important text from the era that gave their album the name: "Sturm und Drang".

lyrics

Der Tod und das Mädchen
Das Mädchen:
Vorüber! Ach, vorüber!
Geh, wilder Knochenmann!
Ich bin noch jung, geh Lieber!
Und rühre mich nicht an.
Der Tod:
Gib deine Hand, du schön und zart Gebild!
Bin Freund, und komme nicht, zu strafen.
Sei gutes Muts! ich bin nicht wild,
Sollst sanft in meinen Armen schlafen!

about

THE OHOHOHS Frankfurt, Germany

Concert inspired club music! Classical music belongs in the concert hall, club tunes in the disco. One serves high culture, the other our basic instincts. The OhOhOhs have torn these prejudices apart. Two instruments face one another: the grand piano and the drums. They interpret dance music into concert style music and vice versa. ... more
