Product Description: Heinz Holliger's "dream opera" Lunea (which premiered to great acclaim at Opernhaus Zurich) interweaves strands from the life and mind of Nikolaus Franz Niembsch, the Hungarian-born Austrian poet who wrote under the name Nikolaus Lenau. Lenau's last, fragmentary writings have fired up Holliger's imagination and led to the creation of an intricately inventive work with a marvelously evocative lead role for baritone Christian Gerhaher. 2 CD.
