Mirella Hagen - Wolf Italienisches Liederbuch [CD]

"Even small things can delight us, / Even small things can be expensive." The first words of the first song in Hugo Wolf's "Italian Songbook" are both a manifesto and a credo. Wolf (1860-1903) felt the pain of being labelled a "song composer". While composing his songs, he realised: "What I am writing now, I am also writing for posterity." As a passionate advocate of Wagner's music, he packaged the sonic innovations of the post-Bayreuth world in songs: he called his unique style "Wolferl's own howl".Wolf's text source for his composition was the "Italian Songbook", published in Berlin in 1860 and translated by Paul Heyse (1830-1914). The compositions were written in three creative phases: the first part in the autumn of 1890 and the end of 1891, and finally the second part in the spring of 1896.In the 46 pieces set to music, we experience the love affair between a man and a woman, from the amorous beginning to the harsh end - a spectrum of the moods and faces of love: arguments, mockery, nighttime serenades, despair, masochism, suffering, anger, pride and separation. Wolf's approach to the piano accompaniment is characterized by sensitivity to the text and colorful, even illustrative composing. He comments, caricatures - sometimes warm-hearted, sometimes mocking and full of humor. Frank-Immo Zichner thus lays a multi-layered foundation for Mirella Hagen and Tobias Berndt, who fully enjoy their roles.

Wolf: Auch kleine Dinge konnen uns entzucken

Mir ward gesagt, du reisest in die Ferne

Ihr seid die Allerschonste

Gesegnet sei, durch den die Welt entstund

Selig ihr Blinden

Wer rief dich denn?

Der Mond hat eine schwere Klag' erhoben

Nun lab uns Frieden schlieben

Dab doch gemalt all' deine Reize waren

Du denkst, mit einem Fadchen mich zu fangen

Wie lange schon war immer mein Verlangen

Nein, junger Herr!

Hoffartig seid ihr, schones Kind

Geselle, woll'n wir uns in Kutten hullen

Mein Liebster ist so klein

Ihr jungen Leute

Und willst du deinen Liebsten sterben sehen

Heb' auf dein blondes Haupt

Wir haben beide lange Zeit geschwiegen

Mein Liebster singt am Haus

Man sagt mir, deine Mutter woll' es nicht

Ein Standchen Euch zu bringen

Was fur ein Lied soll dir gesungen werden?

Ich esse nun mein Brot nicht trocken mehr

Mein Liebster hat zu Tische mich geladen

Ich lieb mir sagen

Schon streckt' ich aus im Bett die muden Glieder

Du sagst mir, dab ich keine Furstin sei

Wohl kenn' ich Euern Stand

Lab sie nur gehn!

Wie soll ich frohlich sein?

Was soll der Zorn, mein Schatz?

Sterb' ich, so hullt in Blumen meine Glieder

Und steht Ihr fruh am Morgen auf vom Bette

Benedeit die sel'ge Mutter

Wenn du, mein Liebster, steigst zum Himmel auf

Wie viele Zeit verlor ich

Wenn du mich mit den Augen streifst

Gesegnet sei das Grun!

O war' dein Haus durchsichtig wie ein Glas

Heut' Nacht erhob ich mich

Nicht langer kann ich singen

Schweig einmal still!

Schweig einmal still!

Verschling' der Abgrund meines Liebsten Hutte

Ich hab' in Penna einen Liebsten wohnen
