Georg Kreisler was a voice of warning, both severe and understanding, who saw his non-homelike chances in music and language and used them to show his fellow human beings manifold opportunities of feeling and thinking. The first edition of Lieder und Chansons compiles all of Kreisler's marvellously wicked works in several anthologies for voice and piano. Organized by topics like 'Home and Homelessness', 'Surreal and Philosophical', 'Love, Eroticism and Sex', this edition provides easy access to his oeuvre. Vol. 5 completes the themes of 'Daily life and coping with it', 'Men and Women' and 'Politics and Law and Order' from Vol. 1 with songs like Was tut man, um zu sein, Der Bluntschli, Kreuzworträtsel, Der zweitälteste Frauenberuf or Ihr wisst gar nichts.
