Volume 63 by the same artists is just as good!

I prefer piano accompaniment for the songs, and the orchestral piece somehow doesn't seem to get much further than imitating Wagner, or is that unfair?

This "innocent" little piece represented a huge step beyond the String Quartet Wolf had only composed a couple of years beforehand.

Originally posted by RichardB View PostI know very well how progressive Wolf could be from many of his songs with piano, which I have a lot of time for, as well as that Intermezzo. I just don't think he had the time or opportunity to develop properly as an orchestral composer.

Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostThis supports the view that Wolf's most essential work was through his songs, given the intimate connections between word and music, which is where my lack of German leaves me somewhat wanting. He composed so many songs - a mere handful of which I've taken off Radio 3 broadcast - that it's hard to know where to begin. Jim Samson suggests Wie soll ich frolich sein and Mignon from the Italienische Liederbuch, Die du Gott Gebarst from the Spanisches Liederbuch and Seufzer from Moericke-Lieder as prophetic examples. It's time I have a dig around in Youtube.

John Tilbury and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra playing Feldman’s piano and orchestra at a prom in 2010 - on YouTube. Excellent performance of music which seems to touch the spot today. The chords! The chords!
Just got the big speakers going after a week of decorators in. It’s good to have big speakers.Last edited by Mandryka; 02-11-22, 14:19.
