The CD by the Swiss soprano Franziska Heinzen is on the one hand a declaration of love to her home canton of Valais, and on the other hand a homage to the art of Swiss song.
At the centre is the cycle Lieder us um Tal (1981) by Eugen Meier on poems in Valais German by Hannes Taugwalder, which is thematically expanded by songs by Swiss composers of the last two centuries.
