In Engelslicht und Dornenschatten, the author invites us to listen to well-known Christmas carols in a new spirit, beyond all hoary cliches. The Lieder fur eine stille Weihnachtszeit and especially the different instrumental accompaniments grew out of improvisation and the desire to encourage the formative creativity of the musicians. The arrangements correspond to the recordings on the eponymous CD known through radio broadcasts. I sought new approaches to the carols. My fingers played accompaniments as if on their own, my voice made repeats where there were none, and did away with some of the carols original form. It was as if something within me was searching for a counter-magic to thwart the force of habit and the automatism with which Christmas carols are often sung and heard. (Christine Maria Rembeck).

Nicolae Bretan (1887-1968) was a great singer and composer who had the keys to create great lieder. He understood that the imagery of poetry deeply stirs the subconscious, that verbal images must be weighed and translated with precise yet unmeasurab le artistry into rhythm and harmony. Given songs that penetrate the listener's psyche, that arouse the listener's humanity, that increase the listener's sense of beauty, the singer has munch of his work already done for him. And the singer who sings Bretan is far ahead on the pathways to his audience's mind and heart. The listeners sense new doors onto vistas of order and beauty, torment and calm. This release of energy withinthe audience is the secret of art. Art is eternity's dialogue in whic h the listener participates, which the listener fills in with his own emotion, his own experience... Frederica von Stade Nicolae Bretan (1887-1968) war ein Sanger und Komponist der das Geheimnis der grossen Liedschopfung kannte. Erwusste, dass das poetische Bild das Unterbewusste zutiefst aufwuhlt, dass das poetische Wort mit praziser und vollendeter kunstlerischer Meisterschaft in Rhythmen und Harmonien verwandelt werden muss. Dadurch, dass diese Lieder in die Seele des Horers dringen, das Humane, in ihm erwecken, seinen Sinn fur Schonheit steigern, wird dem Sanger seine Arbeit erleichtert. Und der Interpret, der Bretan singt, befindet sich in jenen hohen Gefilden und auf Wegen die zum Herz und Verstand des Publikums fuhren. Seine Horer erahnen Pfade zu neuen Ordnungen undSchonheiten, zu Erregung und Stille. Dieser Ausbruch von Energien im Inneren des Zuhorers ist das Geheimnis der Kunst. Die Kunst ist der Dialog der Ewigkeit, an dem das Publikum teilnimmt, den es mit seinen eigenen Emotionen und Erfahrungen erganzt... Frederica von Stade.
