This unique volume contains, in parallel translation, a thousand of
the most frequently performed Lieder, both piano-accompanied and
orchestral. Composers are arranged alphabetically, with their songs
appearing under poet in chronological order of composition - thus
allowing the reader to engage in depth with a particular poet and
at the same time to follow the composer's development. Richard
Stokes, whose work in this field is already widely acclaimed,
provides illuminating short essays on each composer's approach to
Lieder composition, as well notes on all the poets who inspired the
songs. The volume is notable for the accuracy and elegance of its
translations, and for its fidelity to the German verse: every care
has been taken to print the words of the sung text, while adhering
to the versification and punctuation of the original poem.
Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann, Goethe, Heine and Morike are
among the highlights of a book which, together with an illuminating
foreword by Ian Bostridge, will be indispensable for every music
lover.
