Wir freuen uns besonders auf den Liedwettbewerb Stuttgart 2020, weil es einer der renommiertesten Liedwettbewerbe überhaupt ist. Wir befassen uns seit mehreren Jahren intensiv mit dem Liedrepertoire und sehen es als einzigartige Gelegenheit in diesem Rahmen zu musizieren.


(Hey Liedlovers: Wanna know more – jump to the english version...)

 

Ein Wort, das meinen Duo-Partner/meine Duo-Partnerin auszeichnet:
Flore über Hiroko: tragend
Hiroko über Flore: mild

 

Unser Lieblingslied von Hugo Wolf ist Agnes,
weil in unseren Augen Hugo Wolf hier Bitterkeit und Resignation so unmittelbar in Musik übersetzt hat.

 

Der Wettbewerbs-Livestream ist toll,
weil er uns jungen Liedduos eine internationale mediale Aufmerksamkeit schenkt.

 

We are especially looking forward to the Liedwettbewerb Stuttgart 2020 because it is one of the most renowned song competitions. We have been dealing intensively with the song repertoire for several years and see it as an unique opportunity to make music in this context.

 

A word that characterizes my duo partner:
Flore about Hiroko: sustaining
Hiroko on Flore: mild

 

Our favorite Hugo Wolf song is Agnes
because in our eyes Hugo Wolf translated bitterness and resignation so directly into music in this song.

 

The competition’s livestream is great because
it gives us young Liedduos an international media attention.
