The Erlkings
—
Known for their modern & virtuous English interpretations of classical Schubert songs The Erlkings are releasing more music in 2022. “Friedhofs-Nachbarn” is the title of this year’s double release of the Schubert and Beethoven album. For their new Beethoven Album, the already unique ensemble sound of The Erlkings is expanded to include Neapolitan mandolin virtuoso Marcello Smigliante Gentile.
Working with such inspiring and devoted musicians was definitely a highlight of the past turbulent year. – Huge thanks to Bryan for making this beautiful collaboration possible!
The Erlkings are on tour through Austria & Germany in 2022, check the dates near you on their Website!
