Im Frühjahr 1827 trug Schubert seinen Freunden erstmals den ersten Teil seines bekanntesten Liederzyklus „Winterreise“ vor. Zu dieser Zeit ging er noch davon aus, hiermit sämtliche dazugehörigen Lieder vertont zu haben. Erst später stieß er in Müllers 1824 erschienenem Bändchen „ Gedichte aus den hinterlassenen Papieren eines reisenden Waldhornisten“ auf den vollständigen Zyklus von 24 Gesängen. Daraufhin fasste er die zwölf weiteren Gedichte zu einer eigenen, die Lieder der ersten Abteilung teils paraphrasierenden, teils weiterführenden Gruppe zusammen.

Im Anhang der vorliegenden Bände erscheinen zudem vier Lieder – „Wasserflut“, „Rast“, „Mut“ und „Der Leiermann“ – in Schuberts originalen Tonlagen, bevor er bzw. sein Verleger Haslinger diese um einen Ganzton nach unten transponierten. Somit bietet der Band für hohe Stimme (BA 9118) einen zusätzlichen Anreiz für Tenöre, während die Tonlagen im Hauptteil eher für höhere Baritone geeignet sind. In der Ausgabe für mittlere (BA 9138) und tiefe Stimme (BA 9158) wird dementsprechend im Anhang zu diesen Liedern auch eine höhere Alternative angeboten.

A puzzling piece with a tormented history, Rossini’s Edipo a Colono for bass, male choir and orchestra is rarely performed today and represents a unicum in the entire repertoire of Italian music. The fruit of an unusual collaboration between librettist Giambattista Giusti and Italy’s most sought-after composer at the time, Rossini’s astonishing incidental music for Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus is brought to life again by Nahuel Di Pierro, the Coro del Teatro della Fortuna and the Filarmonica Gioachino Rossini conducted by Fabrizio Ruggero. Recorded live at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro.

Continuing their research into the vast hinterland of German cantatas from the early baroque period, Johannes Pramsohler and the musicians of his excellent Diderot Ensemble here dive into the austere and strange music of Biber, but also the less-well-known works of Johann Christoph Bach, great uncle of Johann Sebastian and musicians like Pachelbel, Bruhns and Eberlin. Johannes Pramsohler brings a particular fire and mystical sensuality to this new album (heavenly and earthly delights never being so far apart), and intense celestial flights to his violin playing. A range of international singers have left behind opera and dived with staggering ease into a completely different repertoire. The architects of this success, the supply and airy voice of the Canadian mezzo Andrea Hill, the perfectly gloomy timbre of Spanish tenor Jorge Navarro Colorado and the dark colours of the Argentine bass Nahuel di Pierro, sound the depths of this music driven by a great piety.  –  François Hudry
