"In 'Stimme der Sehnsucht,' a poem by Carl Busse, the voice of longing is depicted as a mysterious whispering sound, a dark and confused spirit from Thule, a mythical island beyond the boundaries of the world. Edgar Allan Poe’s poem 'Dream-land' portrays Thule as a surreal realm of melancholy and dread, while Rainer Maria Rilke wrote: ‘That is longing: living in turmoil and having no home in time'." Christianne Stotijn Christianne Stotijn’s recital of Lieder by Pfitzner, Mahler and Strauss confronts powerful emotions – longing, loving, grief, and a desperate wish to turn the clock back to happier times. The collection is dominated by the theme of night, an exploration of dreams, restlessness and darkness. This is a thoughtful and moving programme from one of the outstanding mezzos of our time. Christianne Stotijn’s previous recordings for ONYX have been praised and her song recital CD 'Tchaikovsky Romances' (ONYX4034) was awarded a BBC Music Magazine Award in 2010. “Stotijn confronts [Kindertotenlieder's] emotions with acute sensitivity, and then leaves us with the benediction of Strauss’s “Morgen!”. A connoisseur’s recital.” The Telegraph, 2nd December 2011 **** “Stotijn's latest well-earned recital disc takes the imaginative high ground right at the start...In the booklet-notes, Stotijn eloquently explains why they travelled to Schiermonnikoog (or 'Grey Monk Island') for the shoot, and how she chose the programme. The programme matters most, of course, though all the incidentals help make this a winner. The Richard Strauss sequence has its own logic of lively versus reflective” BBC Music Magazine, February 2012 ***** “a singer whose voice and intelligence melded seamlessly with words, vocal line and whatever dramatic concert was at hand...Stotijn's vivid performances make you examine the texts anew just to appreciate her sudden burst of vocal colour ('Zueignung' goes into the Jessye Norman zone) or her onomatopoeic effects, which give the characters within the songs a near-physical presence....Stotijn is God's gift to Christa Ludwig admirers.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2012  BBC Music Magazine

Wolfgang Anheisser (baritone) & Julius Severin (piano) The early death of Wolfgang Anheisser (1929-1974) following an accident on stage in a New Year’s performance at the Cologne Opera tragically ended one of the most promising German baritone careers. This 2-CD set is taken from the small number of recordings that he made with his friend and producer Heinz Gietz. It includes a full disc of ballads by Carl Loewe, and songs by Mendelssohn, Adolf Jensen, Anton Rubinstein, Hugo Wolf, and Hans Pfitzner. In addition the collection features several of Schubert’s most popular lieder, Erlkönig amongst them, as well as Schumann’s Belsazar, Die beiden Grenadiere and others. | | | (also available to download from $21.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.
