Hummel / Bauer / Brass-Esemble Munchen - Land Der Schonheit - Eine Hymne Fur Bayern [CD]

I felt it was necessary to dedicate a new anthem to the Bavarians, to express their liberality and the modern Bavarian way of life. The rhymed verses that I have set to music are based on a few lines jotted down by King Ludwig Ii, who resembled today's view of the imaginative Bavarian in an astoundingly prophetic way.' - Franz Hummel.
