About
1830-1840 marks the fascinating bridge between the death of Schubert and Schumann’s outburst of song in the 1840s. Vividly contrasting works from Germany bring songs by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel and her brother Felix Mendelssohn, as well as Franz Lachner and Carl Loewe; from France by Giacomo Meyerbeer and Hector Berlioz; and from Russia songs by Alexander Alyabyev, Alexander Dargomyzhsky and Alexander Varlamov.
Distinguished mezzo Angelika Kirschschlager – characterful and inventive as ever – takes the lion’s share, joined by sopranos Soraya Mafi and Lorna Anderson, tenor John Mark Ainsley and bass Alexey Gusev, accompanied by series creator, pianist Malcolm Martineau.
Of especial note are Soraya Mafi’s delicious performances of songs by Fanny Mendelssohn – sweet-toned, expressive, musical, definitely a soprano to watch. John Mark Ainsley is on fine form with typically intelligent performances of songs by Lachner; Russian bass Alexey Gusev provides the unique vocal colours of his homeland.
Extensive presentation includes 76-page booklet with authoritative liner note in three languages by renowned song expert and series consultant Prof. Susan Youens, with full texts and translations.
