Sviatoslav Richter, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau - Hugo Wolf: Morike Lieder (1973/2015)

Title: Sviatoslav Richter, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau – Hugo Wolf: Morike Lieder (1973/2015)
Genre: Classical
Format: MCH SACD ISO

This album contains 18 of the 53 Mörike Lieder of Hugo Wolf, performed by legendary artists Dietrich-Fischer Dieskau (baritone) and Sviatoslav Richter. One of the five major song cycles that brought Wolf great recognition in the 19th c., these 18 songs rank amongst the composers most outstanding works in a genre that he developed to its highest level by pushing the boundaries of tonality and dramatic effect. These legendary artists bring their uncompromising attention to detail and unity of vision to produce music-making of great power and beauty.

‘Chopin’s workswere a trigger. I was totally moved listening to my father playing the Notturno No.5 and I choose music for life [and not painting]‘. As early as 1948 Richter recorded a Polonaise Op.25 no.1, and in 1950 the Ballade No.2 Op.38, fewStudies . . . Avowed enemy of integrals the present programme is a fabulous example of his choices, excluding tha famous Funeral Sonata ,Walzes, First Piano Concerto . . ., leaving these to Gilels‘far better than him’his point of view!
