Author: Alan Blyth
The three songs by Nicolai are pleasing but slight. Goetz, who died all too young, was admired by Brahms and one can hear just why in the very Brahmsian Schliesse mir die Augen beide, a setting of an admirable poem by Ludwig Sturm. Goethe’s other Lieder here are not so remarkable. Humperdinck also proves something of a disappointment except in the Wagnerian Sonntagsruhe. The remainder do not evince sufficiently individual personality.
Marschner is quite another matter. Each song here is at least to be spoken of in the same breath as those by his contemporary, Loewe, whom he much resembles in style, and I now long to encounter some of his other 400 or more Lieder. Die sieben Freier is another of those Lorelei-inspired poems so beloved of the German romantics. This one deserves to stand alongside the best. Even better is the Gothic horror of both Die Rache, with its ostinato imitation of hoofbeats, and Die Monduhr, imbued throughout with a constantly varied motif in thirds. Perhaps these pieces aren’t so unexpected from the composer of Der Vampyr. Das Flammchen auf der Heide is quirkily scary, Der betrogene Teufel a nice essay in the ribald, which is delivered by Bar in an appropriately biting timbre. But then throughout he is back on his most convincing form, relishing every word and note and singing with restored freedom. Deutsch, who also contributes the booklet-notes, proves a worthy partner. The recording is forward and well-balanced.'
