About
But just as Mahler was better known as a conductor than a composer in his own time, Klemperer and Walter were composers of industry and accomplishment; some of Klemperer’s orchestral music is available in his own recordings (and otherwise forgotten), but Walter’s music has barely been heard until the release of this fascinating and richly textured set of Lieder. They are not Modernist in inclination, as might be anticipated, but rather make echoes in both their choice of poetry and musical setting to Schumann, Brahms and indeed Mahler.
His attitude to his music is probably well summarised in a letter he wrote to his friend and teacher in June 1910: ‘I firmly believe that melody and harmony form a perfect union, in the sense that the entire harmonic substance of a melody is latent in it from the moment of its invention, and then only needs to be developed from within it.’
Recorded at the studios of Bavarian Radio in 2009.
Extensive booklet-notes, sung texts and translations are provided.
