At the turn of the 20th century Vienna was the centre of a surge in artistic creativity that enveloped all the arts and continued for two decades. A celebration of Song showcases songs written by composers of this period well- and lesser-known and explores the diverse musical styles of these Viennese musical elite as well as offering short biographical information on each individual. Thus this album will appeal to any high voice singer wishing to become better acquainted with this vibrant period and will hopefully serve as an introduction to more in-depth study of the featured composers whose vast works can only be touched on here. For English speakingsingers separate literal translations of the songs are provided for the purpose of aiding interpretation.

Par SZYMANOWSKI KAROL. The composition of the Princess Songs marked the beginning of a particularly productive phase for Karol Szymanowski. Based on a series of poems by his sister Zofia, Szymanowski composed this colorful and glittering music in 1915; its exotic, lyrical and fantastical world is expressed in the coloratura soprano’s many passages, featuring trills and rapid runs. The princess herself remains mysteriously undefined. Love is her only recurrent theme. By withdrawing into internal fantasy during a time of war, Szymanowski found an opportunity to retreat into a dream world, and composing songs remained an important part of his lifelong work; in 1933 he arranged three of the six Princess Songs for voice and orchestra. (Sakari Oramo orchestrated the other three and conducted their first performance in 2012). (Translation on UE website by Grant Chorley.)/ Répertoire / Voix Haute et Piano
