René Bardet´s Poesie & Musik: Pablo Neruda 1 - Ein Mensch kam zur Welt (Mood, 1979)

Between 1974 and 1983 there existed a very interesting swiss music project called "Poesie und Musik". They were publishing inspiring records that combined poetry and music based on texts by Francois Villon, Heinrich Heine, the indian Chief Seattle and Pablo Neruada.

Here´s their first album with interpretations of poetry by Pablo Neruda, called "Ein Mensch kam zur Welt", produced in Stuttgart at "Tonstudio Zuckerfabrik" in 1979 with René Bardet (guitar, voice), Tini Hägler (marimba perc), Ruedi Häusermann (bamboo-fl, clarinette, flute), Martin Schütz (cello) and Orlando Valentini (bass, guitar, percussion).

Pablo Neruda (July 12, 1904 – September 23, 1973) was the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean writer and politician Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto. With his works translated into many languages, Pablo Neruda is considered one of the greatest and most influential poets of the 20th century. Neruda was accomplished in a variety of styles ranging from erotically charged love poems like his collection Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair, surrealist poems, historical epics, and overtly political manifestos. In 1971 Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature, a controversial award because of his political activism. Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez once called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language".
