My lecture of the Winterreise does not demand a new expressive interpretation, but instead systematically exercises the freedom which all interpreters allow themselves intuitively, such as: instrumental dilation i. e. acceleration of the pace, transposition into other keys and elaboration of characteristic color timbres. In addition, there are further ways of reading; the music; jumping around in the text, repeating certain lines, interrupting the continuity, comparing different expressions of the same phrase ... All these new possibilities are subjected to my compositional discipline and form autonomous formal processes which are imposed on Schuberts original. The transformation of the piano tones into a multifaceted orchestra full of resonance is only one of many aspects.(Hans Zender)CDs:Hans Peter Blochwitz (Tenor), Ensemble Modern, Conductor: Hans Zender CD BMG 9026-68067-2 Christoph Pregardien (Tenor), Klangforum Wien, Conductor: Sylvain Cambreling CD Kairos 0012002KAIJulien Pregardien (Tenor), Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Kaiserslautern, Conductor: Robert Reimer2 CD's P.RHEI (2016)Bibliography:Adam-Schmidmeier, Eva-Maria von: Schubert interpretieren.

Dragons! is a dramatic and comical musical for Key Stages 2 and 3, by poet Nick Toczek and acclaimed composer Malcolm Singer. Fergus is different from all the other kids - he is turning into a Dragon! He and his imaginary friends are taken through their paces at the School For Dragons, where they are taught to speak Dragonese and how to become hard as nails! Soon he discovers that he's not the only person he knows who is a dragon, and that in fact these firey fiends are everywhere! Dragons contains nine original, varied and challenging songs and includes optional solos and instrumentals. The play has a super rhyming story, and the songs are also suitable as a song-cycle for young choirs. Teacher's Book: Catalogue number GA11627.
