The Complete Songs of Hugo Wolf gathers together for the first time
every poem Wolf set to music. Alongside the original German texts
are translations by leading Lieder expert Richard Stokes, who also
provides illuminating commentary. The 36 poets set by Wolf are each
given their own chapter: a brief essay on the poet is followed by a
note on Wolf's connection with the writer, extracts from letters
that throw light on the Songs and convey his mood at the time of
composition, and the texts and translations. Short biographies of
all Wolf's correspondents flesh out the extraordinary life of this
genius. This will be an indispensable volume for all lovers of
Lieder.
