made most of the
orchestral versions of
his songs for the soprano

called her in a

first performance of the
orchestral version of

Karl conducted the

and always basing his
ideas on the poetic idea

Nicolae
Bretan.
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.

StiftungThe goal of the
Hanns Eisler Complete
Edition (HEGA) is to
present to the public all
available compositions,
writings and letters in
an appropriately
scholarly form. It takes
a historico-critical
approach and seeks to
document the history of
the works and writings by
shedding light on their
transformations, thus
identifying the various
versions as witnesses of
evolving aesthetic and
historical positions.
Eislers complete oeuvre
(only a limited number of
his works had penetrated
the publics awareness up
until the 1990s) first
became the object of an
editorial undertaking
when the Eisler -
Gesammelte Werke (EGW)
was founded by Nathan
Notowicz. It was later
placed under the
direction of Manfred
Grabs and Eberhardt
Klemm, and began issuing
its publications in 1968
through the intermediary
of the Deutscher Verlag
fur Musik in Leipzig.
However, only four
volumes of music and five
volumes of writings were
published. The Hanns
Eisler Complete Edition
pursues the work begun at
that time, although it
has had to fundamentally
revise its editorial
principles. In this
respect, the Hanns Eisler
Complete Edition can be
considered as a
completely new editorial
undertaking. It became
necessary to reconceive
the organization of the
volumes and series as
well as the editorial
guidelines in order to
adapt the standards of
historico-critical
editing generally
applicable today to the
specific and sometimes
singular circumstances of
Eislers works.The

The major
upheavals that
transformed society and
musical aesthetics during
the first half of the
20th century also
profoundly affected the
life of Hanns Eisler, as
well as his compositions
and writings. The
importance and scope of
Eislers oeuvre are reason
enough to make his works
accessible to musical
scholarship and practice

fashion. Price reduction

Heissa,
hopsa, bei Regen und Wind
- from Shakespeare's
'Twelfth Night' Unklar
bleibt warum Sibelius
etwa zeitgleich eine
weitere Fassung des Werks
nur mit deutschem Text
fur Singstimme und
Streichorchester
anfertigte. Soweit
bekannt wurde diese
Fassung vor ihrer
erstmaligen
Veroffentlichung im Jahr
2003 in der Gesamtausgabe
,,Jean Sibelius Werke
(JSW) noch nicht
aufgefuhrt. It remains
uncertain why Sibelius
wrote another version of
the work with German text
only for voice and string
orchestra around the same
time. As far as is known
this latter version has
never been performed
before its first
publication in the volume
of the complete edition
Jean Sibelius Works in
2003. In den meisten
Fallen beschrankte sich
Sibelius auf ein relativ
kleines Orchester. In
,,Varen flyktar hastigt
sind neben den Streichern
nur zwei Floten und vier
Horner besetzt.
Nearly all of the
orchestral arrangements
were made years after the
original compositions for
voice and piano. Yet even
though the arrangements
were made in a very short
period of time Sibelius
handled the combination
of solo voice and
orchestra in all songs
with equal mastery
sometimes creating dark

(in Pa verandan vid

colorful impressions (in

light-colored transparent

cases Sibelius used a
comparatively small
orchestra: Varen flyktar
hastigt has only two
flute and four horns
added to the strings. Mit
dem Erscheinen der
Erstausgabe 1986 eroberte
sich das Werk rasch
seinen Platz neben den
anderen
Streichorchesterwerken
des finnischen
Komponisten. Das
vorliegende Impromptu
entstand Anfang 1894, als
Jean Sibelius die kurz
zuvor komponierten

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. CDs:
