Angela Winkler - Ich weiß nicht zu wem ich gehöre…

In the organizer's words:

"I don't know who I belong to..." This famous song by Friedrich Holländer and Friedrich Liebmann is the title and motto of Angela Winkler's long-awaited new song recital with songs and chansons by Bert Brecht, Hildegard Knef, Marlene Dietrich, Barbara, Joan Baez, Willi Schmid, Richard Heymann, Franz Schubert and others. Shortly after her almost unbelievable 80th birthday, she wants to take the audience into the world of her favorite songs, songs that have accompanied her throughout her life. And so the program ranges from Schubert's "Lindenbaum", Dietrich's "Und wenn er wiederkommt" and Brecht's "Marie A." to "Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind", with which Angela Winkler once won a Joan Baez competition as a young girl. Matthias Stötzel wrote the arrangements and accompanies her on the piano, together with violinist Rebecca Borchert.

After the preview performance at the Kieler Schauspielhaus, Ruth Bender wrote in the Kieler Nachrichten:

"I don't know who I belong to`, my mother sang that again and again, even when her fingers became crooked and her hands rheumatic", Angela Winkler brings her mother into play. And continues: "Also to annoy my father: I think I'm all my own." The conclusion of the song sounds mischievously questioning, with that small but unmistakable rebellion in her voice. She likes the rebellious songs anyway. Like the exuberant folk song about the girls with their tempting skirts. The chanson of longing from Barbara, who asks: "Tell me, when will you be with me?" "It has a defiance that I like," says Angela Winkler, flashing the goblin in her girlishness.

Everything seems light with her, even the heaviness. The cheekily waltzing "Daisy" with its question of love also fits in. "I had to sing that in every Bob Wilson production," she says, "his mother sang it to him." So you also learn a lot about the power of childhood songs and how they are passed down through the generations on this evening between singing and remembering, chanson and folk song. Matthias Stötzel is the man at the piano, who strikes the elegant salon note and, together with violinist Rebecca Borchert, creates the melancholy, shimmering foundation for Winkler's light, sometimes beautifully scratched singing.

It is a cheerfully sentimental evening of remembrance, in which the actress immerses herself in life and song, completely with herself and yet completely turned towards her audience, who thanked her with standing applause."
