Rammstein on Deutsche Grammophone?

You betcha,

When this first fell from my mail slot I trembled in fear of a Teutonic Orchestral Yessongs debacle.

But oh me of flighty faith--this really is 'serious' modern orchestral stuff--sorta Schoenberg-ey--based on the fine source melodies by The Lads themselves--who write a litling line in a manner that suggests a Dusseldorf Merritt in 1920, besotted--and anything but a light listen.

To wit:

Rasch: Mein Herz Brennt - Song Cycle Based on the Music of Rammstein
Label: Deutsche Grammophon
Categories: Orchestral, Vocal - Solo
 
Artists
René Pape (Baritone)
Katharina Thalbach (Narrator/Speaker)

Ensemble:
Dresden Symphony Orchestra (Conducted By: John Carewe)
Composer:
Torsten Rasch

"Laibach and Rammstein"

"Laibach and Rammstein
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles
And warm woolen mittens . . . "

This is a great moment.
