In the news

BR-Klassik reports on the January 2025 concert about “sung news” circa 1525 in German broadsheets.

“Particularly fitting is Marc Lewon, who, strumming his cittern like a cross between a street balladeer and Bob Dylan and singing with a fine voice, boldly delivers all fifty stanzas of a contemporary eyewitness-news report.”
