24 Heine-Vertonungen. Par STEFFEN WOLFGANG. To familiarize oneself with the basics of lied singing and at the same time work on technical and artistic issues using short and varied lieder, there is no way around the German 'Vaccai”. With lieder based on Heine's poems and following the Italian example Nicola Vaccai, Steffen Wolf succeeded in creating a real highlight in voice teaching. Each volume comprises the lieder with the international phonetic transcription below the music, short pedagogical comments on technical and artistic issues as well as a CD with recordings of the songs and piano playbacks in the respective voice range. Singers: Miriam Alexandra (soprano), Yvi Jänicke (alto), Dávid Csizmár (baritone) and the composer (tenor) himself. They are accompanied by the pianist Henning Lucius, who also recorded the piano playbacks for every CD./ Méthode / Voix Haute

These songs are familiar melodious and relatively accessible adding an extra dimension to the standard repertoire. Each song has been carefully devised to remain comfortably in a middle to lower-middle tessitura ideal for the inexperienced singer. The accompaniments are suitable for the intermediate pianist but retain a fresh and contemporary flavour.A CD is also included offering both professional performances that illustrate model interpretations and an accompaniment track for practice.
