Ian Venables' setting of four poems of A.E. Housman originally scored for tenor solo, string quartet and piano, here arranged for tenor and piano. Lyrical pieces of intermediate difficulty, sometimes elegiac, sometimes angry. Written in 2004 but very much in the English song tradition of Finzi, Gurney and Warlock these are therefore ideal recital companions to those composers.

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.
