Als mich mein Freund Till Fellner um einige Lieder fur eine Tournee mit Mark Padmore bat, deren ubriges Programm aus Schumann und Beethoven bestehen sollte, sagte ich sofort zu. Ich bin seit jeher der Meinung, dass sich neue Musik vor allem in unmittelbarer Konfrontation mit den Formen der Geschichte bewahren muss, statt sich in ghettoartiger Isolation abzukapseln. Ausserdem scheint mir eine neue Auseinandersetzung mit der europaischen Geschichte, insbesondere mit der Romantik, an der Zeit. Deswegen war der Wunsch der Auftraggeber nach einem Text von Jean Paul fur die Lieder eine weitere Anregung, der ich nicht widerstehen konnte. Wer die reichlich fliessenden Tranen in Jean Pauls Romanen mit einem Sich-Gehenlassen in privater Gefuhligkeit verwechselt, ubersieht nicht nur die ebenso reichlich produzierende ,,Essigfabrik seiner Satiren, sondern auch die konstruktive Kraft dieses grossen Dichters. Nirgendwo wird sie wohl so deutlich wie in seinem Musikerroman ,,Flegeljahre; so fand ich in diesem Werk auch zwei seiner ,,Polymeter oder ,,Streckverse, die mir sehr geeignet erschienen, den heute neu zu findenden Ubergang von kalter, ja neurotisch ,,vereister Affektivitat zu neu fliessender Warme zu zeigen. Die Verse sprechen von einer Tropfsteinhohle, deren Formen zwar hart und zackig sind, aber doch in ,,weich sinkende Tropfen zerschmelzen konnen. Diese Polaritat hart/weich wird zur Metapher fur die menschliche Trane, welche das Auge ,,durchschneidet; diese wiederum wird in einer weiteren Metapher zum Diamanten, der aber endlich weich wird, ,,und das Auge sieht sich um nach ihm. Der Musiker nun setzt die Metaphernschichten fort mit dem naturlichen Gegensatz zwischen dem weich fliessenden Gesang und dem von Natur aus perkussiven, harten Klavierklang. Dieser Gegensatz wird durch dynamische Nuancen vermittelt. Die Musik, die sich zunachst zogernd aus ,,gefrorenen, erstickten Klavierklangen zusammensetzt, wird vom stromenden Atem des Sangers allmahlich erwarmt und zu lebendiger Bewegung gebracht. Das Werk ist Gyorgy Kurtag zu seinem 90. Geburtstag zugeeignet. (Hans Zender, 2015)

The piano-accompanied Lied is undoubtedly the main genre of Pauline Viardot-Garcia's oeuvre. With this volume, we present settings of German texts by such poets as Ludwig Uhland, Eduard Morike, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Heinrich Heine, Emanuel Geibel, Ludwig Rellstab and Richard Pohl. Except for the Uhland settings, these German Lieder were written between 1862 and 1871 during Viardot's Baden-Baden period, when she shifted the focus of her activities from singing to composing and teaching. Here she worked, among other things, on the poetry of Eduard Morike, which she called the greatest and most genuine in all German poetry after Goethe.One of her first published songs was the setting of the Uhland poem Des Knaben Berglied. Accompanying herself on the piano, she performed it in 1838 on her first concert tour of Germany. A performance of the song at the Leipzig Gewandhaus prompted Robert Schumann to remark: She showed three talents here [composition, singing and piano playing], each of which would grace its artist. Through her music, Viardot brings the creatures in the poems to life, tracing their different characters and inner states, thus giving the texts a new level of interpretation.

Translation : Engl. (S. Wadsworth) (1988) / (Norbert Rubesaat) (1993); French (Jean-Pierre Wurtz) (1997) Place and time: Jail Munchen-Stadelheim, in the hour before the execution on 22nd February 1943 Characters: Sophie Scholl (soprano) / Hans Scholl (baritone or tenor) >>Weisse Rose<< (White Rose) was the name of the resistance group to which Hans and Sophie Scholl belonged. Udo Zimmermann's composition is characterized by the varying structure of its scenes: dramatic, visionary scenes, e.g. the remembered wartime experiences on the front, Sophie's anxiety about the removal of the children and the wish to see her parents one last time, contrast with contemplative monologues that are intended to provide insights into the individual's particular situation. The composer interweaves into the structure of the piece dream sequences with sudden bursts of anxiety that are not triggered by the execution that is about to take place but by the consequences of one's own actions. The result is a deliberate fusion of the various parts into one another. More than 100 different productions prove that the topic is as important as ever and that the work is both artistically rewarding and practicable. Udo Zimmermann About the piece Two young people, the siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl, are in a prison cell, one hour before they are to be put to death by their fascist executioners. Their christian convictions and sense of responsibility gave them the courage to put up resistance, resistance against the lies, the contempt for humanity and all human values. Sophie and Hans Scholl took their stand in the full knowledge that they were taking a deadly risk. They would simply not have been able to live with their feelings of shame had they not grasped the chance of fighting for what they believed in, even though it was a dangerous thing to do. Memories of past events, doubts, hopes and fears, justification of deeds and an acceptance of death, all these things happen and move in, and between, these two people during this representation of the hour before death. The orchestra provides a psycho-physical shorthand of their inner mental state. Musical effects and gestures search for their identity in human behaviour. The moments of stillness and silence provide moments of musical tension, which are just as powerful as the eruptions of fear and desperation.
