 | Hugo Wolf - "Im Frühling" (Mörike) Fischer-Dieskau, Moore 4:41 min. | 4.909091 user rating A song of great longing, "Im Frühling" (In Spring) is yet another of the perceptive combinings of poetic expression and superb music that marked Hugo Wolf's best work. At a duration of approximately four and a half minutes, it is longer than many of Wolf's keenly observed vignettes; its length is dictated by the detail of Eduard Mörike's poem and by the lingering scale of its utterance. It is, in the words of Wolf annotator Eric Sams, "a masterpiece." Mörike's reputation as one of Germany's greatest lyric poets is corroborated by the text. The speaker lies on a hill in [......] |
 | Hugo Wolf - "Kennst du das Land" - Schwarzkopf 6:46 min. | 4.9444447 user rating Goethe's "Kennst du das Land?" from his "Wilhelm Meister" attracted the interest of many composers before Wolf attempted his setting.

 | Hugo Wolf - "Sonne der Schlummerlosen" (Byron) - Fischer-Dieskau 2:53 min. | 4.9259257 user rating Continuing with my month long celebration of Hugo Wolf (born March 13). "For Wolf, song ennobled itself by association with great poetry. The Wolf aesthetic focuses on deep understanding of the poets he sets and their inner world. He himself described his music as merely an enhancement of great poetry. Ravishingly beautiful as it is, Wolfs music perhaps demands more appreciation of meaning than most. Every subtle nuance, every shading of emotion matters." From a review by Anne Ozorio, Music-Web International "Sonne der Schlummerlosen" (Sun of the Sleepless) is one of two settings by Wolf of the poetry of Lord [......] |
 | Hugo Wolf - Schlafendes Jesuskind - Fischer-Dieskau Moore 3:43 min. | 4.891892 user rating Wolf's setting of a meditative poem written by Morike while contemplating a painting by Francesco Albani. The music on the video is in the original key, Fisher-Dieskau sings it transposed for medium voice. Sometimes the subtitles are too long and a word or two is missing. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore. 1958 |
