Star tenor Piotr Beczala presents a selection of romances by Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, together with the acclaimed lied accompanist Helmut Deutsch. The romance was the most popular musical genre in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Russia, practised by professionals as well as amateurs. Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff both enriched this genre with their lyricism and melodic invention. Elevated by Deutsch’s splendid accompaniment, Beczala delivers these songs with a great sense for the Slavic idiom and meaning of the words, combined with colourful lyricism and italianità, perfectly fitting the Russian and cosmopolitan musical language of these two masters.

This first Lied recording by soprano Sarah Traubel with pianist Helmut Deutsch is nothing less than a declaration of love for the genre! Four of Gustav Mahler’s Rückert Lieder and the Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss are heard here. Pieces by Franz Liszt and Erich Wolfgang Korngold ideally round off a beautiful panorama of the post-Romantic Lied of the turn of the century, in which Sarah Traubel – here in excellent accompaniment! – is perfectly in her element!

In early 2018, with master pianist Helmut Deutsch, they performed Hugo Wolf’s multi-faceted Italienisches Liederbuch in 12 cities around Europe. “One couldn’t ask for more,” wrote the Telegraph after their London concert, which took place two days before this live recording was made in the German city of Essen.

Except for the five songs of Op. 33, these were never published, and Gál himself would later refer to them as ‘laid aside’. Many of these songs were publicly performed at the time, however, often with the composer at the piano.
