About

"This CD - significantly only the second CD dedicated exclusively to von Zieritz - presents a longitudinal section of her oeuvre. It begins with the Japanese Songs, written in 1919, here in the version for soprano and chamber orchestra from the 1980s. The centrepiece is Le Violon de la Mort, composed in 1953 for violin and piano and arranged for violin, piano and orchestra in 1957, as well as the trumpet double concerto of 1975, the final piece and, as it were, a satyr play. Like Hans Bethge' s collection Die chinesische Flote (The Chinese Flute) from 1907, the poetic model of the Japanese Songs belongs to the context of interest in exotic art of the fin de siecle. Gustav Mahler made Bethge's poems the basis for a large symphonic work; Grete von Zieritz took the opposite approach with the Japanese Songs. These are a kaleidoscopic sequence of the briefest miniatures. It would hardly be possible to do otherwise, since the Japanese models are not song texts in the European sense, but poetically condensed sayings that defy conventional song settings. Aphoristic brevity was the order of the day."

Reviews

February 2024

The album’s opening work, Japanese Songs, proved her gateway to composing professionally...This richly satisfying work, which teeters between late Romanticism and more challenging modernist tonalities, moves from epic grandeur to exquisite moments of quiet beauty. Sophie Klussmann delivers a gloriously pliant performance, met at every turn by the excellent Robert-Schumann-Philharmonie under Jakob Brenner.
