Description

The Complete Songs of Hugo Wolf gathers together for the first time every poem Wolf set to music.

Alongside the original German texts are translations by leading Lieder expert Richard Stokes, who also provides illuminating commentary.

The 36 poets set by Wolf are each given their own chapter: a brief essay on the poet is followed by a note on Wolf's connection with the writer, extracts from letters that throw light on the Songs and convey his mood at the time of composition, and the texts and translations. Short biographies of all Wolf's correspondents flesh out the extraordinary life of this genius.

This will be an indispensable volume for all lovers of Lieder.
