Facts Of Love and Life' brings together a selection of songs and song cycles by Hans Christian Detlefsen. His work combines influences from the European avant-garde with non-European soundscapes. Encounters with composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Gyorgy Ligeti, as well as his study of Javanese gamelan music, shaped his musical language. This is characterised by flexible rhythms and harmonies influenced by Olivier Messiaen.The selected cycles bring together texts from different eras and linguistic regions. French poetry by Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine is paired with Spanish poetry by Luis de Gongora, Federico Garcia Lorca, and St John of the Cross, as well as English-language works by Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Edward Lear, and E. E. Cummings. The settings consistently follow the linguistic structure, unfolding a distinct musical dramaturgy from it that oscillates between intimacy, expressiveness and tonal colour.The featured vocalists are Anna Sophia Theil, Feride Buyukdenktas, Zacharias Galaviz-Guerra, Vincent Kusters and Ulf Bastlein. As the driving force behind the project, Bastlein once again demonstrates his talent for rare song repertoire. They represent a new generation of song interpreters who devote themselves with particular intensity to the contemporary repertoire. The piano accompaniment was provided by Charlie Bo Meijering, Martijn van Sas, Clara Sophia Murnig and Hedayet Jonas Djeddikar.
