Theo Bleckmann delves into the music of Kate Bush, Hanns Eisler, Charles Ives, interprets songs from the Mother Goose collection, kidnaps Fumio Yasuda to Las Vegas, devotes himself to the Great American Songbook and sets texts by Kurt Schwitters to music. With “My Choice”, this exceptional singer compiles a selection of musical set pieces of the most varied of colors and creates a new complete oeuvre: a best-of album of outstanding songs, an album that arouses curiosity and fascinates.
