Pied Piper of Hamelin: Stained Glass Panel

Norbert Rodenkirchen presents a solo recital in which he attempts to reconstruct the route of the late thirteenth-century traveling flutist of legend. The Route of the Rattenfänger von Hameln is based on intensive musicological research focused on the mediaeval monodies in the minnesinger tradition of the thirteenth century and ancient Slavic music from the Baltic region. Recorded live in concert as part of the Music In Paradise Festival, held annually during the last two weeks of August in Seminary Church, a former Cisterian monastery in the Polish town of Paradyż.
