Ist es Wahnsinn oder Kummer, wenn Miss Donnithorne seit ihrer geplatzten Hochzeit das Haus nicht verlassen hat? Zurückgelassen gibt sie sich ihrem neuen Leben als Einsiedlerin hin. Gedankenspirale und alte Torte inklusive.
George III. sagt man den Wahnsinn seit Jahrhunderten nach. Auch er ist, als Folge seiner fortschreitenden Geisteskrankheit, allein. Seine Monologe erinnern an das Königreich, das für ihn verschwunden ist, und geblieben sind ihm nur seine Vögel. Ist es Wahnsinn oder Kummer, dass er versucht ihnen das Singen beizubringen?


In jeweils acht Liedern hat der britische Komponist Sir Peter Maxwell Davies klingende Porträts geschaﬀen, die dem Wahnsinn frönen und gleichzeitig immer Platz lassen für die Erinnerung an Normalität, an Träume und Wünsche und so die Frage aufwerfen: Ist es Wahnsinn oder Kummer?

Deutsch

Is it madness or grief if Miss Donnithorne has not left the house since her failed marriage? Left behind, she devotes herself to her new life as a hermit. Thought spiral and old cake included.
George III has been said about madness for centuries. He, too, is alone as a result of his progressive mental illness. His monologues are reminiscent of the kingdom that has vanished for him, and all he has left are his birds. Is it madness or sorrow that he's trying to teach them to sing?


In eight songs each, the British composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies has created sonorous portraits that indulge in madness and at the same time always leave room for the memory of normality, dreams and desires, thus raising the question: is it madness or sorrow?
