The second release by Mary Bevan and Joseph Middleton on Signum, the pair show why they are seen as one of the best partnerships in Lieder today.
Bevan present her second recital disc exploring Lieder in German and Italian by Schubert, Haydn and Wolf. The programme is woven around songs inspired by the 'muses' of the day, both mythological and divine. Schubert's dramatic and reverential settings of sacred German poetry, set alongside his lush emotional portrayals of female characters in the Italian settings. Haydn's epic 'scena' depicting the famously cruel abandonment of Arianna by her lover Teseo, 'Arianna a Naxos'. Haydn's beautiful prayer 'Geistliches Lied' takes us back into the world of German poetry and the religious fervour that arose from the collective belief in Christianity which pervaded most art forms of the age. Hugo Wolf, whose stunning settings of devotional texts take the listener right to the heart of the characters; a few of these songs were in fact inspired by paintings. The early moments of Jesus Christ's life are vividly portrayed here, particularly in songs such as 'Die ihr Schwebet', 'Auf ein Altes Bild' and 'Schlafendes Jesuskind', while the haunting 'Gesang Weylas' invites the listener into the world of the mysterious goddes Weyla who wistfully dreams of the shores of her distant homeland. From Ganymed to Christ, Dido to the Virgin Mary, Arianna to St Peter, this recital disc richly illustrates the lives and events surrounding the 'divine muses' who inspired these composers.
