Austrian composer Hugo Wolf worked on symphonies, serenades, concertos and choral works-but his greatest legacy is the 300 or so lieder he composed. Musically brilliant and emotionally resonant, they've attracted many generations of star singers, and you'll hear them as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Wolf's birth. Along with legendary soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (Alte Weisen; Lieder fur eine Frauenstimme; Goethe Lieder Nos. 6-9) and baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (Michelangelo Lieder; Eichendorff Lieder Nos. 9-16; Nachruf; Uber Nacht), you'll encounter Thomas Allen (Goethe Lieder Nos. 1-3, 34-38; Morike Lieder Nos. 4-5), Olaf Bar (Morike Lieder Nos. 17, 25, 30, 48), Ian Bostridge (Goethe Lieder No. 13; Morike Lieder Nos. 33-34), Monika Frimmer (Morike Lieder No. 38), Brigitte Fassbaender (Morike Lieder Nos. 35-36) and more!
