About

Sarah Wegener is an Internationally acclaimed soprano, well established in particular as a lieder and concert singer. Here, together with pianist Goetz Payer, Wegener presents a programme of lieder by Richard Strauss.

"What a time that must have been, when composers of the likes of Reger, Mahler, Schoenberg, Webern, Berg, Alma Mahler-Werfel, and Zemlinsky were in their prime, along with Richard Strauss, perhaps the most dazzling representative of his generation. Not to mention all the outstanding composers in neighbouring European countries.

We should not forget how important poetry was in those days. Many poets we now find unfamiliar Otto Julius Bierbaum, Herrmann von Gilm, Detlev von Liliencron, Charles Mackay, Felix Dahn, and Richard Dehmel were widely admired, and their texts were set to music by countless composers. Take, for example, Richard Dehmel, whom we have just mentioned. Hundreds of musical settings of his poems exist, and his output inspired artists such as Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner to create entire cycles of paintings.

The artsong catalogue of Richard Strauss contains over 200 lieder, with a number of Dehmel settings including "Befreit" These songs have been part of our lives for many years; among our personal favorites, we count lieder such as "Morgen!", "Allerseelen" and "Zueignung", which are justifiably popular and beloved. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to grow and mature in tandem with music we have known and loved for a long time. If we were to write down our own personal experiences associated with Richard Strauss in a book, we would recount precious moments such as serving as a page-turner for Jessye Norman's vocal recitals of Strauss lieder, or the first cautious approach to Strauss during voice studies, finally leading to the pleasure of performing his orchestral songs under the batons of Mariss Jansons and Vladimir Jurowski." ( Excerpt from the booklet)

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"Wegener's appealing voicedraws the listener into the core of the music with unaffected linguistic authority" "Voice and piano ae positioned with such thoughtful consideration of what actually reaches the ear that this recording is likely to be a welcome companion for years to come." Gramophone, March 22

Reviews

March 2022

although there’s not a great deal of tonal variety, the journey undertaken with clear, dependable if unsoaring pianist Götz Payer is surprisingly companionable. Special inflections inform the more probing pointing of the texts in ‘Rote Rosen’ and ‘Die Georgine’.

March 2022

Vocally, Wegener’s appealing voice isn’t the high-personality instrument of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf or Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau but draws the listener into the core of the music with unaffected linguistic authority.
