In this sequel to A Guide to the Solo Songs of Johannes Brahms, Lucien Stark opens up a beautiful and largely neglected repertoire, providing the full German text for each song, along with a new English translation, notes on vocal ranges, and a wealth of engaging commentary of technical, aesthetic, and historical interest. Full texts and translations, with expert commentary.ÒAuthoritatively written by a widely recognized exponent of the music of Brahms, [this work] constitutes a valuable contribution to a rather impoverished literature. It is informative, insightful, illuminating, an invaluable resource for singers, teachers, coach-accompanists, highly recommended for anyone having anything to do with Brahms lieder.Ó ÑRichard D.
