Felicitas Barg
Felicitas Barg (born June 4, 1900 in Hamburg ; † October 7, 2002 ) was a German reciter . She was considered an excellent interpreter of texts by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff . Her Hölderlin recitations were also very much appreciated.
Career
Felicitas Barg came from Hamburg. She began her speaking career at the age of forty. Since 1947 and 1948, when she was invited by the Annette von Droste-Gesellschaft e. V. recited from Droste-Hülshoff's works on the 100th birthday or the 150th anniversary of Droste-Hülshoff's death, she was considered the most congenial Droste interpreter ever.
The contemporary press judged her art that her recitation was “an artistic speech event of its own and of very high rank”, and one rarely hears “verses spoken in such a natural way as an embossed poem”.
In 1949 she spoke alongside actors like Mathias Wieman , Horst Caspar , Will Quadflieg and Maria Wimmer in the large-scale radio play series of the NWDR Goethe tells his life of Hans Egon Gerlach , her only foray into the radio play subject.
As a reciter, she performed on various occasions until the end of the century and also discussed a number of records and CDs.
In 1954 Barg became the owner of the glass house in Meersburg , which she lived in from 1980 until her death.
The reciter held the copyrights to Harriet Straub's work , which she passed on to Herbert Burkhardt in 1989, already at an advanced age, who, to Barg's chagrin, did not know how to use it in the poet's terms, other than as agreed.
In 1995 the Academy for Spoken Word published Felicitas Barg in honor of Four Scholias on Poetry .
Felicitas Barg was 102 years old.
Quote
- I don't like reading poems by Schiller. The poster effect is annoying insofar as generally known quotes are strung together. To penetrate this or to cover it up takes great strength.
