Gert Westphal reads: The most beautiful German ballads

Who rides so late through night and wind? Almost everyone can complete this line. But it is only when Gert Westphal recites such "small theater pieces" that ballads reveal their full beauty and artistry of language. The "king of narrators" uses his expressive vocal repertoire for the masterpieces of German poetry, bringing not only beloved classics but also lesser-known treasures to life. Includes: Erlkönig, The King in Thule, The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Johann W. von Goethe, The Pledge, The Cranes of Ibycus, The Song of the Bell, The Diver by Friedrich Schiller, The Bridge on the Tay, John Maynard, Herr von Ribbeck by Theodor Fontane, Belsazar, Lorelei by Heinrich Heine, The Boy in the Moor by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, and many more.
