Alma Mahler-Werfel wrote over 50 songs relatively early in her life, and the selection performed on this album reveals her talent for expressive word-setting in a rich, atmospheric style. Clara Schumann was recognized as a child prodigy for her abilities both as a pianist and as a composer, and her songs, including the Op. 12 songs heard here, were co-published alongside those of her husband, Robert. Pauline Viardot-García was a polymath whose three-octave singing range inspired many composers. She wrote over 100 songs of her own in an array of styles; those chosen for this recital demonstrate the quality and variety of her output. Vítezslava Kaprálová produced a remarkable amount of music, much of it published during her short life, including songs that exude a perfumed impressionism. Olena Tokar has a growing reputation for her stunning performances in opera, in the concert hall and in recitals, while Igor Gryshyn shows similar versatility in his roles as a concerto soloist, recitalist and chamber musician.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Five Songs~Die stille Stadt \\ The silent town \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Five Songs~In meines Vaters Garten \\ In my father’s garden \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Five Songs~Laue Sommernacht: Am Himmel \\ Mild summer night in the sky \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Five Songs~Bei dir ist es traut \\ I am at ease with you \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Five Songs~Ich wandle unter Blumen \\ I wander among the flowers \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Liebst du um Schönheit \\ If you love for beauty \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Er ist gekommen \\ He came in storm and rain (Op.12 No.2) \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Warum willst du and’re fragen \\ Why will you question others (Op.12 No.11) \u003cbr\u003e1.9 O Lust, o Lust, vom Berg ein Lied \\ Oh joy, oh joy (Op.23 No.6) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Geheimes Flüstern hier und dort \\ Soft, secret whispers here and there (Op.23 No.3) \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Nixe Binsefuß \\ The mermaid Rushfoot \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Hai luli \\ I am sad, I am troubled \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Gärtner \\ The gardener \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Poems of Pushkin~On Georgian hills \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Two roses \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Golden glow of the mountain peaks \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Do not sing, my beauty, to me \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Op. 12~No. 1 Navždy \\ Forever \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Potkali se vcera lidé dva \\ Two people met yesterday \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Až jednoho dne se budeš ptát \\ One day you will ask \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Op. 12~No. 3 Ruce\\ Hands\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39339143168071,"sku":"41412220","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3940309-2679767.jpg?v=1769600528","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-charmes","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
