Juliane Banse & Alexandar Madz - Berg / Hartmann - Tief in der Nacht (Lieders) [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Eagerly-awaited album by uniquely gifted soprano Juliane Banse, whose previous ECM recordings have been showered with awards and positive reviews. Accompanied by the insightful Serbian pianist Aleksandar Madzar, the German singer performs a wonderful programme of music by Alban Berg and Karl Amadeus Hartmann, powerful and poetic songs spanning a turbulent era. rr

Alban Berg's early songs, written while he was still under Schoenberg's tutelage, chart the young composer's metamorphosis from writer of late romantic love songs to master of the modern idiom. The Berg selections here comprise 18 songs - the Sieben frxfche Lieder, the Jugendlieder and two fascinatingly-contrasting versions of Schliexdfe mir die Augen beide from 1900 and 1925.

Hartmann's cantata Lamento for soprano and piano was made in 1955 out of solo passages from a choral work of 1936/7 dedicated to Berg. A demanding work, it has rarely been recorded. In his note Paul Griffiths writes, 'Lamento is a big piece, one that thoroughly engages the two formidable musicians who present it. Banse is the kind of singer Hartmann must have imagined, one who can maintain ease, power and warmth under difficult circumstances, whose singing conveys at once authority and vulnerability and whose musical experience runs from Bach to the present day. Aleksandar Madzar similarly brings out the depth of history and the immediacy of feeling written into this work.'

Juliane Banse's account of Kurtxe1g's Kafka Fragmente - a work she sings at the Wigmore Hall on 18 February - won the Edison Award, the Midem Classical Award and the Japanese Modern Music Prize, while both her recital disc with Andrxe1s Schiff (Songs of Debussy and Mozart) and her starring role in Heinz Holliger's opera Schneewittchen both netted Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik Bestenlist awards.
