His Lieder are the least known works of that great European polyglot, Franz Liszt. Even so, he left a catalogue of eighty-one Lieder based on poems from five different languages. The composer knew how to choose his poets, starting with Victor Hugo, followed by Heine, Goethe, Pétrarque, Rellstab and Schiller. Liszt has often been criticized for his lack of affinity for the atmosphere of the Lieder, his exaggerated pathos and his over-elaborate piano accompaniment.
It takes artists of the calibre of Jonas Kaufmann and Helmut Deutsch to do this music justice. In this compilation, Goethe takes the lion's share, with several versions of the same poem re-interpreted twice, sometimes three times, by the Hungarian composer, no doubt aware of the gaucheness of the earlier versions. "Full of joy and pain is the soul that loves" (Freudvoll und leidvoll) sings the poet, a programme which is the very essence of all poetry that permeates this entire corpus.
This selection of some twenty Lieder, including the well-known 3 Sonetti del Petrarca, will no doubt help to bring a better understanding of this aspect, ignored by Liszt. In any case it is the wish of these brilliant performers who, with this studio recording, have in their own way filled the great void. © François Hudry/Qobuz
