Tiefe Stimme / Low Voice-Walther Dürr presents Volume 8 of the new Urtext edition of Schubert’s lieder in separate editions for high medium and low voice.This volume contains lieder originating during the latter half of 1815 between August and November. Three series of lieder each based on a particular poet immediately catch the eye: a number of Ossian settings a group of Klopstock lieder and finally another set on texts that Schubert found in a Viennese almanac (Selam). Furthermore the series of Schubert lieder on texts by the North German poet Ludwig Theobul Kosegarten which starts in Volume 7 is concluded in this volume.• Based on the Urtext of the “NewSchubert Edition”• Clear and uncluttered engraving• Foreword by Walther Dürr on the genesis and history of the work as well as an explanation of the sources for each individual lied (Ger/ Eng)• Includes English translations of the lieder texts by Richard Wigmore

Hohe Stimme / High Voice-As a continuation of the new Urtext edition of the Schubert lieder Walther Dürr has now edited volume five for high medium and low voices. Volumes 1 to 4 of this edition contain mainly lieder which Schubert himself saw into print (in his own choice and order) and in the fourth volume works from the last two years of his life are included. The lieder in volume 5 onwards are strictly presented in the order of Deutsch?s Thematic Catalogue which means that in principle they are arranged chronologically.The lieder in volume five were composed in the years 1811 to 1814. The first 'Hagars Klage' (D 5) dated 30 March 1811 is also his first complete surviving song. The firsteleven lieder are evidence of his early studies (1811 1813/14). During this period Schubert immersed himself in Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg?s ballads and lieder and wrote Italian arias during his composition lessons with Antonio Salieri. He also composed a single strophic song ('Klaglied' D 23) which the only one of these songs was published shortly after his death in November 1830 as op. 131 3. His apprentice work as it were was the major ballade 'Der Taucher' (D 77) which was composed between 1813 and roughly the beginning of 1815. Probably not by chance his first complete opera ('Des Teufels Lustschloss' D 84) was written at the same time. He also set fourteen poems by Friedrich von Matthisson exploring the principle of the strophic lied.- Excellent new engraving based on the 'New Schubert Edition'- Foreword by Walther Dürr discussing the history the works? compositionand transmission together with a list of sources for each song (Ger/Eng)- English translation of the song texts by Richard WigmoreContents:Hagars Klage D 5 / Leichenfantasie D 7 /Der Vatermörder D 10 / Klaglied op. post. 131 3 D 23 / Misero pargoletto D 42 (high voice only) / Totengräberlied D 44 / Die Schatten D 50 / Verklärung D 59 / Pensa che questo istante D 76 (medium and low voice only) /Der Taucher D 77 / Son fra l?onde D 78 (high voice only) /Adelaide D 95 / Trost.

Singing Score Urtext edition-In spring 1827 Schubert performed the first part of his best-known song cycle ?Winterreise? for his friends for the first time. At this time he assumed that he had set all the texts belonging to the cycle to music. Only later did he come across the complete cycle of 24 songs in Müller?s volume ?Gedichte aus den hinterlassenen Papieren eines reisenden Waldhornisten? of 1824. As a result he set the twelve further poems as a separate group partly paraphrasing the songs in the first part and partly continuing them.The appendices also contain four songs ?Wasserflut? ?Rast? ?Mut? and ?Der Leiermann? in Schubert?s original keys before they were transposed downa tone by him or his publisher Haslinger .- Famous song cycle taken from the practical Complete Edition of Schubert Lieder Volume 3- Foreword by Walther Dürr discussing the history of the work?s composition and sources (Ger/Eng)- With an English translation of the song texts by Richard Wigmore
