Franz Schubert: Lieder Volume 9: High Voice: Vocal Album

As a continuation of the new Urtext edition of the Schubert lieder, Walther Dürr has now edited volume five for high, medium and low voices. Volumes 1 to 4 of this edition contain mainly lieder which Schubert himself saw into print (in his own choice and order) and in the fourth volume works from the last two years of his life are included. The lieder in volume 5 onwards are strictly presented in the order of Deutsch's Thematic Catalogue which means that in principle they are arranged chronologically. The lieder in volume five were composed in the years 1811 to 1814. The first - 'Hagars Klage' (D 5), dated 30 March 1811 - is also his first complete surviving song. The first eleven lieder are evidence of his early studies (1811-1813/14). During this period Schubert immersed himself in Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg's ballads and lieder and wrote Italian arias during his composition lessons with Antonio Salieri. He also composed a single strophic song ('Klaglied', D 23), which - the only one of these songs - was published shortly after his death in November 1830 as op. 131, 3. His apprentice work, as it were, was the major ballade 'Der Taucher' (D 77) which was composed between 1813 and roughly the beginning of 1815. Probably not by chance, his first complete opera ('Des Teufels Lustschloss', D 84) was written at the same time. He also set fourteen poems by Friedrich von Matthisson exploring the principle of the strophic lied. - Excellent new engraving based on the 'New Schubert Edition'- Foreword by Walther Dürr discussing the history the works' composition and transmission, together with a list of sources for each song (Ger/Eng)- English translation of the song texts by Richard WigmoreContents:Hagars Klage, D 5 / Leichenfantasie, D 7 /Der Vatermörder, D 10 / Klaglied, op. post. 131, 3 - D 23 / Misero pargoletto, D 42 (high voice only) / Totengräberlied, D 44 / Die Schatten, D 50 / Verklärung, D 59 / Pensa che questo istante, D 76 (medium and low voice only) /Der Taucher, D 77 / Son fra l'onde, D 78 (high voice only) /Adelaide, D 95 / Trost.

They are available in separate books for high, medium and low voice. The volume was completed by the eminent Schubert scholar Walter Dürr who passed away at the beginning of 2018. It was in 1816 that Schubert completed his settings of Ossian's songs and added lieder on texts by Johann Georg Jacobi, Johann Peter Uz and Matthias Claudius. Also included are the lieder from the Grob family songbook. In summer 1816 Schubert produced his first settings of poems by Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart ('Grablied auf einen Soldaten” and 'An mein Klavier”), the author of the words to one of his most famous songs 'Die Forelle”/ 'The Trout” (see Volume 2)./ Répertoire / Basse et Piano

Par CASSARD PHILIPPE. Pour le pianiste Philippe Cassard, Franz Schubert (1797-1828) est bien celui qui, selon l'épitaphe du poète Grillparzer 'fit chanter la poésie et parler la musique'. Cependant, comment saisir en quelques mots le profond mystère schubertien ' Comment décrire l'intime le plus enfoui, la confidence glissée dans un accord ' Comment faire ressentir l'hésitation d'un thème à poursuivre sa route, la douleur nichée au creux d'un silence ' En vérité, il faut peut-être chercher les clés de cette musique dans les six cents poèmes que Schubert a emplis et enrichis de la plus belle musique. L'étude des lieder constitue donc la première étape de cette nouvelle et très personnelle étude schubertienne. On y découvre les horizons les plus vastes, des mots - Wanderer, Sehnsucht, schubertiade, Vienne, moderato, Nacht -, des noms familiers - Vogl, Goethe, Seidl, Mayrhofer -, des rythmes obsessionnels, qui nous conduisent naturellement vers l'ultime Sonate en si bémol majeur D. 960, concentré, selon Philippe Cassard, de l'oeuvre de Schubert. Une destination finale où se fracassent tous les rêves, toutes les aspirations, où se manifestent toutes les peurs. Comme chacun des volumes de la collection Classica, ce Schubert est enrichi d'un index, de repères bibliographiques et d'une discographie. Pianiste, Philippe Cassard a consacré une partie de ses activités à la musique de Schubert. Cet essai est son premier livre. / Broché / Livre / Livres

The Complete Schwanengesang. Par LISZT FRANZ. The foremost pianist-composer of his day, Franz Liszt unselfishly promoted the works of his fellow composers through his brilliant piano transcriptions of their music. Among his most inspired contributions to the literature were his legendary transcriptions of Franz Schubert's songs. This volume, the third in the series, contains Schubert's complete Schwanengesang, and nine other great lieder. Reproduced from extremely rare early editions edited by Liszt himself, they retain all the lyric beauty and emotional depth of Schubert's original music, yet reflect Liszt's incomparable mastery of the difficult art of transcription from the original medium of voice and piano to that of solo piano.
