Liederspiel with songs and texts by Georg Kreisler, Christian Morgenstern, Paul Graener, Joachim Ringelnatz and Heinz Erhardt There are sentimental songs, there are funny songs. And then there are the black humorous songs by the Viennese singer-songwriter and pianist Georg Kreisler, which – like the title of his most famous record Everblacksalready indicated - are imperishable and in their artistry are in no way inferior to the classical art song. Kreisler tells in his ballads so vividly that they almost invite to a scenic implementation. When these then meet the absurd New Galgenlieder by Christian Morgenstern, which were set to music by Paul Graener in 1917, and Heinz Erhardt and the Saxon Joachim Ringelnatz add their mustard with their shaken puns, then it really hits thirteen! And who else but Marcus Sandmann, Jens Herrmann and their accompanist on the piano Matthias Spindler should have the comedic flair and the talent for improvisation to break a bow from "triangle" to "politician" over the "knee" and with wit, irony, punchline, timing and joy in singing and playing a scenic round dance of outrageous songs to laugh?
