Album Notes
'Spanisches Liederbuch' was nearly the last of the big song books of Wolf. Setting poems translated from Spanish sources into German, Wolf divided the work into two unequal parts. The love lyrics that make up the bulk of the cycle are harbingers of the later, more popular, 'Italienisches Liederbuch' and includes the very popular "In dem Schatten meiner Locken." In the 10 songs on religious subjects, Wolf's music is searing in its intensity. An examination of Wolf's setting of "Die ihr schwebet"--Mary's admonition to the angels to silence the tree tops disturbing her slumbering child--and Brahms's setting of the same lyric as part of his Op. 91 songs, sets the boldness of Wolf's conception in high relief as compared to the autumnal beauty of the Brahms. As a collection, it is one of the great masterpieces of late romantic song, albeit rarely encountered complete.
Wolf's music is intensely difficult to perform well. Olaf Bär and Anne Sophie von Otter, with Geoffrey Parsons, offer stunningly beautiful realizations of this often elusive music. This is an excellent introduction to the miracles of late Wolf.
