When one thinks of Richard Wagner, it is easy to imagine the
passion, the soaring melodies and the sheer power of the music
written by this revolutionary in the world of 19th-century opera.
But the fact is that Wagner could also portray these elements on a
much smaller scale and was adept at capturing the more intimate
subtleties of the genre known as the Lied. This special collection
brings together Wagner’s works for voice and piano.Among the works
that appear in the collection are the Wesendonck-Lieder – a setting
of five poems by Mathilde Wesendonck – two of which, ‘Träume’ and
‘Im Treibhaus’, Wagner describes as studies for Tristan and Isolde,
one of his most celebrated operas. These five lieder combine a use
of chromaticism, expression and restless, wave-like phrases that
have come to be associated with much of the composer’s oeuvre. The
disc also boasts an Italian version of the work, with text by
Arrigo Boito. Also appearing in the collection are the famed
‘Gretchen am Spinnrade’ and ‘Melodram’ – the final two works of the
Sieben Compositionen zu Goethes Faust – the complex ‘Dors, mon
enfant’ and further works with texts by writers such as Victor
Hugo, Georg Sheurlin and Pierre de Ronsard. Each of these works
showcases Wagner’s immense talent at the portrayal of emotion
through song.Praised by the New York Times as being ‘a fine
dramatic soprano’, Michela Sburlati is a critically acclaimed
singer who has performed in operas all over the world. Recent
engagements include the role of Chrysothemis in Richard Strauss’s
Elektra (Erl Festival, Austria) and the title role in Tosca at the
Kazan Opera (Russia). She won the ‘Poggi’ Award as critics’ and
audience’s choice in 2011, teaches lyric singing at the
Conservatoire in Perugia and collaborates with the Lyric Opera
Centre in Shanghai. Sburlati is accompanied by renowned pianist
Marco Scolastra.Other information:- The Wagner year 2013 brought us
a wealth of new and re-issues of his greatest operas, therefore
this new recording of his songs might be seen as an elegant and
refreshing “encore”: small-scale Lieder, of an intimate nature, but
often expressing in just a few minutes as much as in a whole opera
scene.- Included are the famous Wesendonck Lieder, in the original
German version and in an Italian translation by Boito (Verdi’s
librettist), Gretchen am Spinnrade, Mignonne and several other
little gems.- Sung by the Italian Michela Sburlati, “a fine
dramatic soprano” (New York Times), accompanied by maestro Marco
Scolastra.- Contains extensive liner notes on the works and
performer biographies.- Contains sung texts in the sung
language....
