Après un long moment passé à écrire uniquement pour piano, Schumann a produit une explosion véritable de lieder, inspiré par la poésie de Heinrich Heine: 'Qu'est-ce une bénédiction, il est, d'écrire pour la voix' Schumann a écrit à sa bien-aimée Clara. C'est comme si un noeud a été dénoué, alors qu'il a été écrit Heine-Liederkreis, op. 24. Rétrospectivement, Schumann a écrit que ce nouvel esprit poétique avait inspiré la composition de lieder à un tel point qu'il était devenu le seul genre à faire des progrès significatifs depuis l'époque de Beethoven.En effet, ces neuf chansons, qui représentent le seul paramètre complète du cycle de sous-jacent Heine, est venu si près de l'esprit du poète qui une nouvelle époque de la composition a été fondée menti. Cette nouvelle édition de la première collection de Schumann de lieder est basée principalement sur la première publication en cours d'examen du manuscrit autographe.- Toutes les chansons dans leur tonalité originale- Complète avant-propos (Eng / Ger) et critique commentaires (Ger)- Comprend une traduction en anglais des textes lied de Richard Stokes (Le Livre de Lieder) imprimé séparément / Piano Et Voix / Partition

Aribert Reimann's idea to arrange the lieder of Franz Liszt for baritone and string quartet goes back to his collaboration with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, recording some of these lieder for the German broadcasting company formerly known as Sender Freies Berlin (SFB). Since then, Reimann has continued to be fascinated by Liszt's thrilling harmony and unconventional treatment of the voice. Here, he has compiled a cycle containing seven lieder from Liszt's middle and late periods, arranged so that each song is the logical continuation of its predecessor. Liszt's fundamental harmony has been retained, but the registers have been altered to such an extent that they appear in a completely new light.

Commenting on this cycle of 35 songs, the composer writes: The contradictions in human nature delighted him; he loved the unevenness of life and all its manifestations. While nineteenth Century musical settings focused almost exclusively on his atmospheric and lyrical poetry, it was not until the twentieth Century that adequate musical expression could be found for Heine's poetic realism, unique in its time. In this selection I have attempted to juxtapose the various personae and forms used by Heine so as to present a picture of his personality..

Max Kowalski (18821956) was a full-time lawyer who never gave up on his passion for music: singing lessons during his law studies, conducting and counterpoint classes, among others, at Dr. Hochs Konservatorium in addition to his work at his own law office in Frankfurt. While studying, he already published his first works; 15 song cycles were published until 1933. In the years that followed, the Jewish-born Kowalski was restricted in working both as a lawyer and as a composer due to his persecution by the National Socialists. In 1938 he was arrested, deported to the concentration camp of Buchenwald and finally forcedto flee into exile in London. Contemporaries called Kowalski a lyricist among the composers. The choice of texts of his songs shows his great knowledge and love of German literature. For example, he set to music texts by Friedrich Holderlin or Rainer Maria Rilke, but also Indian or Japanese poems. Kowalski left numerous unpublished songs which are published by Schott Music in a two-volume edition: Volume 1 (ED 22586) contains his Jewish songs (1935-37), the Heinrich Heine cycle (1937) and all English-language songs (1941-46). Volume 2 (ED 22587) contains Kowalski's late works: the songs based on texts by Friedrich Holderlin (1950) and the Geisha Lieder according to Klabund (1951).
