A new version of Schumann’s work
The tradition of arrangements is almost as old as music itself. Composers have been adapting other composers’ works to suit the resources and needs of their own time or surroundings for centuries. One contemporary example is Jörg Widmann, whose ensemble version of Schumann’s »Dichterliebe« is a very new approach to the piece.
Please note: Benjamin Appl will sing instead of Matthias Goerne.
Schumann originally set the cycle based on poems by Heinrich Heine for voice and piano – it was one of the highlights of the famous »lieder year« 1840, when the composer discovered the art song and dashed off some 140 contributions to the genre, as if in a frenzy. Prior to this, he had confined his endeavors as a composer to piano music. One of his many piano works are the »Kinderszenen« from 1838, played with delight then as now not only by professional pianists, which shine in completely new colours in the orchestral »Remix« by Brice Pauset.
