Baritone Michael Borth and pianist Maximilian Langer present an evening of songs that explore the themes of food, drink, pleasure, and seduction in their artistic and symbolic dimensions.

From the cheerful drinking song of the 18th century to the decadent nuances of modernity and the ironic breaks of the 20th century, a panorama of chamber musical treasures unfolds, in which enjoyment itself becomes an aesthetic principle. Songs by Ravel, Strauss, Schubert, Wolf, Poulenc, and others delve into the question of where bodily pleasure and spiritual elevation meet – and whether one can even be imagined without the other.

Thus, the evening becomes a sensitive celebration of the senses, in which the song balances between cult and intoxication, measure and excess. "Hebe die funkelnde Schale gefüllt mit Wein" is both an invitation and a call: to listen, to savor – and perhaps to toast to the insatiable longing that resonates in every note.

The baritone Michael Borth, who lives at Kaiserstuhl, is a versatile opera, song, and concert singer who, with his adaptable voice and sensitive text interpretation, is already dedicating himself for the second time to a song evening at klangwerk LIED. Pianist Maximilian Langer, who lives in Freiburg, is equally active in both classical and experimental fields. His empathetic, virtuosic playing and his wide range of sound color worlds are displayed by the young pianist in a variety of song evenings, chamber music, and solo concerts.
