About

After her Schumann disc (CC 72867), we are glad to present a new disc by great mezzosoprano Anna Lucia Richter. The theme of of the disc is: Light. The repertoire encompasses eight hundred years of German Lieder.

"[her] bright, clean, focused tone, precise diction and keen sense of drama will be familiar from her performances in an impressively wide-ranging portfolio." - Gramophone on A.L.Richter:

With the present programme we want to explore the history of the German Lied throughout a period spanning some 800 years, from that first light of dawn represented by the earliest music scored with modern notation - courtly love songs by Walther von der Vogelweide (1170-1230) and Oswald von Wolkenstein (1377-1445) - down to such present-day emissaries of the Lied tradition as Aribert Reimann and Wolfgang Rihm. In between we find: J.S. Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, F. Hensel, Wolf, Berg and Eisler.

The programme is rounded off, however, by the work of a political exile, Kurt Weill: namely, Berlin im Licht. This work appears initially to be no more than a love-song to the future of the electric light bulb: "Turn on the light; so you can see what's wrong and what is right". The deeper meaning was soon thrown into relief by the blotting out, within a few years of its composition, of both the light and the right to which Kurt Weill aspired and Germany's swift descent into the darkness of dictatorship and war. A spark, however, still remained.

Mozart’s ‘Abendempfindung an Laura’ ( K523) looks simple on the surface but is artfully through composed, and Richter leads each phrase into the next with subtle vocal shading and seamless breath control.
