'The programme is sung throughout with easeful tonal beauty; and Roger Vignoles is at his glorious best as he reveals the wonders of Wolf's writing for the piano' (Musical Opinion)

'It would be hard to imagine these virtually unknown songs better performed than here' (The Daily Telegraph)

'A very attractive programme … superbly controlled singing that goes right to the heart of Wolf's spontaneous response to the poetry' (International Record Review)

'A fascinating recital' (Gramophone)

'In sum, another top-of-the-line issue - confirming yet again that Hyperion has consistently the best production values in the business - and, for Wolf's admirers, another indispensable album' (Fanfare, USA)

'The programme is sung throughout with easeful tonal beauty; and Roger Vignoles is at his glorious best as he reveals the wonders of Wolf's writing for the piano' (Musical Opinion)

After their Gramophone Award-winning debut disc of songs by Beethoven, and a 2-CD set of Hugo Wolf's 'Mörike Lieder' (with Joan Rodgers), Stephan Genz and Roger Vignoles return to Wolf for the much less well-known early songs to texts by Heinrich Heine and Nikolaus Lenau. These songs have been little-recorded and several of them are not presently available on disc. In fact it is likely that they are recorded here for the first time.

Recorded in Tonstudio Teije van Geest, Sandhausen, Germany, on 18-22 February 2002

Tracks:

Sie haben heut'abend Gesellschaft
Ich stand iin dunkeln Träumen
Das ist ein Brausen und Heulen
Aus meinen grossen Schmerzen
Mir träumte von einem Königskind
Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen
Es blasen die blauen Husaren
Du bist wie eine Blume
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh
Mädchen mit dem roten Mündchen
Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt
Es war ein alter König
Mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff Spätherbstnebel, kalte Träume
Ernst ist der Frühling
Wie des Mondes Abbild zittert
Sterne mit den goldnen Füsschen
Wo wird einst des Wandermüden
An ***
Traurige Wege
Nächtliche Wanderung
Herbst
Frage nicht
Herbstentschluss
Abendbilder
