User:Double sharp/Schubertiade in DFD's memory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This particular YouTube channel isn't that bad for getting some of the more rarely heard songs, even if some of the theatrics are a little silly IMHO. Although it would be good if they actually gave programmes in the descriptions...

So here is one, for the only one I actually watched so far (because it has many not-so-often-heard gems).

Lotte Kortenhaus (please ignore the staged interludes, the way the actors interrupt the first song, her singing shoeless and weird actions in D 633)

  1. Suleika I, D 720 (op. 14 no. 1) in B minor (text: Marianne von Willemer, revised by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe): 1821
  2. Die Rose, D 745 (op. 73) in G major (text: Friedrich von Schlegel): 1822
  3. Der Schmetterling, D 633 (op. 57 no. 1) in F major (text: Friedrich von Schlegel): 1819?
  4. Sprache der Liebe, D 410 (op. posth. 115 no. 3) in E major (text: August Wilhelm von Schlegel): 1816
  5. Das Mädchen, D 652 in A major (text: Friedrich von Schlegel): 1819
  6. Du liebst mich nicht, D 756 (op. 59 no. 1) in A minor (text: August Graf von Platen): 1822
  7. Am Bach in Frühling, D 361 (op. posth. 109 no. 1) in D-flat major–C-sharp minor (text: Franz von Schober): 1816
  8. Die Sterne, D 939 (op. 96 no. 1) in E-flat major (text: Karl Gottfried von Leitner): 1828
  9. Die Sterne, D 684 in E-flat major (text: Friedrich von Schlegel): 1820
  10. Suleika II, D 717 (op. 31) in B-flat major (text: Marianne von Willemer, revised by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe): 1821
  11. Die Liebe hat gelogen, D 751 (op. 23 no. 1) in C minor (text: August Graf von Platen): 1822
  12. Heimlisches Leben, D 922 (op. 106 no. 1) in B-flat major (text: Karoline Louise von Klenke): 1827
  13. Das Weinen, D 926 (op. 106 no. 2) in D major (text: Karl Gottfried von Leitner): 1827
  14. Vor meiner Wiege, D 927 (op. 106 no. 3) in B minor (text: Karl Gottfried von Leitner): 1827
  15. An Sylvia, D 891 (op. 106 no. 4) in A major (text: William Shakespeare, translated by Eduard von Bauernfeld): 1826
  16. An Sylvia (again, as an encore)

I might do more if I like the programmes and singing enough, and if the singers are sopranos or tenors (*). (This took a while, as I am not familiar with many of the songs presented: the only ones I knew beforehand were the two Suleika songs, the two Platen settings, An Sylvia, and Die Rose. If they transposed the songs down from the original keys, not even The Schubert Song Companion by John Reed could help.)

(*) I clearly haven't listened to myself

Notes: I ignored the fragment of the Unfinished Symphony, D 759, that they played with pictures of DFD.

Kimberley Boettger-Soller (again, ignore the same things, along with a few ornaments that Schubert assuredly did not write; I understand the temptation in D 933, where you only find out what the yodel at the end illustrates at the end of the twelfth verse, but...)

  1. An den Frühling, D 587 in A major (text: Friedrich von Schiller): 1817 [oh, I recommend Schubert's first setting D 283 too!]
  2. Das Rosenband, D 280 in A-flat major, sung in G major (text: Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock): 1815
  3. Des Fischers Liebesglück, D 933 in A minor, sung in F minor (text: Karl Gottfried von Leitner): 1827
  4. Du liebst mich nicht, D 756 (op. 59 no. 1) in A minor, sung in G minor (text: August Graf von Platen): 1822
  5. Schweizerlied, D 559 in F major (text: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe): 1817
  6. Hänflings Liebeswerbung, D 552 (op. 20 no. 3) in A major, sung in G major (text: Johann Friedrich Kind): 1817
  7. Blondel zu Marien, D 626 in E-flat minor, sung in C minor (text: Anonymous, traditional): 1818
  8. Andenken, D 99 in F major (text: Friedrich von Matthisson): 1814
  9. In Freien, D 880 (op. 80 no. 3) in E-flat major, sung in D-flat major (text: Johann Gabriel Seidl): 1826

  11. Litanei auf der Fest Aller Seelen, D 343 in E-flat major (text: Johann George Jacobi): 1816
  12. Im Walde, D 708 in E major, sung in E-flat major (text: Friedrich von Schlegel): 1820 [unfortunately with a little fast-forwarding]
  13. An den Mond, D 193 (op. 57 no. 3) in F minor, sung in D minor (text: Ludwig Hölty): 1815
  14. Am Fenster, D 878 (op. 105 no. 3) in F major, sung in E-flat major (text: Johann Gabriel Seidl): 1826
