“Küsse der deutschen Muse” - Heinrich Heine in Gedichten, Prosa und Briefen mit Rosa & Jonathan Tennenbaum

In the organizer's words:

Wit and satire, biting polemics and romantic rapture:

This is what made Heinrich Heine a popular poet, and his criticism of the political conditions of the time made him a feared and persecuted author. Many of his poems have long been part of the popular repertoire, and as a critical narrator and political essayist, he is virtually up to date. He knows like no other how to touch our hearts and at the same time tease the petty bourgeois in us.

The artist couple Tennenbaum paint a personal portrait of this great poet in selected poems, prose pieces and letters. This is accompanied by piano music from that era by Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn and others.

Rosa Tennenbaum is a Germanist and author. She studied German and history and then worked as an editor and author.

Jonathan Tennenbaum works as a researcher and academic author, and plays and composes on the piano.
