Notes
Leading British baritone Roderick Williams and distinguished pianist Roger Vignoles have recorded Brahms’ only song cycle, Romanzen aus die schone Magelone in two versions.
The songs follow the narrative a novella by Ludwig Tieck (1773-1853), a favourite of Brahms in his youth, which tells of a handsome noble warrior, Count Peter of Provence, who travels to Naples and falls in love with the princess Magelone. Drama ensues involving pirates, a beautiful Sultan’s daughter and a near-betrayal.
Roderick Williams says of the songs “Either I am a sucker for late-Romantic song or perhaps for his historic fairytales of derring-do and blushing maidens, but I for one was enthralled on first hearing.”
This unique double CD recording presents the original cycle – along with the Four Serious Songs – and a second version where Roderick intersperses the songs with Roger’s English translations for Tieck’s original story. He says, “I hoped it might connect with the wide-eyed child in us all, anyone who cannot resist “Once upon a time…”.
Roderick Williams was winner of the 2016 RPS Singer award, is Artistic Director of Leeds Lieder and is in demand around the world as a recitalist, in opera and with orchestras. - Roger Vignoles has collaborated with some of the world’s greatest singers, and has an extensive doscography across a wide range of lieder and song."
