Richard Wagner: Five Songs For High Voice

Though not regarded in the same vein as his large and magnificent operas, Wagner’s songs still demonstrate his compositional skill and accurate portrayal of German sensibilities. This terrific volume contains five songs for High Voice with Piano Accompaniment. Based on a set of poems by Mathilde Wesendonck, there is a wide variety of sentiment, feeling and subjects characterisied by these pieces proving his all round ability.
