Wolff: Complete Songs,... - Klaus Simon - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Regarded as a first-rate but tragically neglected composer of Lieder, Erich J. Wolff has, untilrecently, only been familiar to a small number of music enthusiasts. The beautiful 1909 songcycle Neun Gedichte, set to texts by the composer’s close friend Cäsar Flaischlen, is notable forits juxtaposition of rapture, joy and fear. Amongst the numerous profound, dignified and sublimesettings on this album the Hafis Lieder represent a multi-faceted and oriental flavoured sequence,ranging from calm sadness and defiant heroism to a rapturous conclusion.
