Das Lied von der Erde in a Chinese-language version, replacing the original German texts inspired by Tang Dynasty poetry with Daniel Ng?s reconstruction of the original Chinese poems
Berenguer de Palol (o Palou o Palazol) was born in Catalonia, the land of the Count of Rossillon. We know very little about his life. The vida recites: “... he was a poor knight and teacher of arms. He composed beautiful songs which he sang for Ermessen, wife of Arnon d’Avinyo, son of Maria di Peizolada”. The only date regarding his life that can be established with certainty is 1164, the year in which his patron Jaufre’ III died. The artistic activity of Berenguer has reached us through a series of passionate compositions of a rare musical as well as poetic beauty. His songs point out the particular ‘topoi’ of the Occitan love poetry; besides the choice of the language of Oc, his songs expound the idea of love so dear to the courtly poetry enclosed in the concept of ‘fin’amor’. Berenguer’s poetry shows an evident reseach of the supreme love, or joy; a way paved with suffering for love joined to the cult of feminine beauty. Also in the songs of this troubadour the main suject is the domna (woman), seen partly as an abstract goal in the search of love, and partly real, as his vida narrates. In the opening verse of the song, Tant m’abelis joys et amor et chans, we find the representation of the artistic current to which Berenguer apparently fully adhered; it seems appropriate to refer the first strophe entirely: “So much does joy, love, song, happiness, fun and courtesy, please me that there is no wealth nor abundance in the world that could make me happier. So that is why I know that my lady keeps the keys of all the goods I hope in and wait for, and I can have none of it without Her”.

Bas-bariton Klaus Mertens and Tini Mathot on fortepiano share with us famous songs of Franz Schubert. Songs like Erlkönig, An die Musik, Prometheus, Die Forelle, Du bist die Ruh and many more have been selected by the duo and they give us their illuminating vision and version of songs we all know so Well and love so much. The reason why these songs are so timeless is because they have universal emotions and themes and they speak to all of us in every day and age. The songs stay Alive by the performance of superb musicians like Mertens and Mathot. About the works on this cd: Schubert understands the song as a work of art by two independent authors, the poet and the composer. Thus there is hardly a complete Schubert lied manuscript to be found (this is naturally different in sketches and studies) in which the poet is not named and, what is more, immediately with the title of the song. The three fundamental parameters of the song – text, melody, accompaniment – must in principle be of equal status. The text provides the basis, content and form of the song; the melody makes it singable, the accompaniment interprets it. The circumstances of Schubert’s life show a close relationship to poetry. Poets were strongly represented in his circle of friends, evenings of readings (sometimes several times a week) made him familiar with the latest literature. The readings were followed by discussions on questions of poetry. Thus it seems quite natural that no other musical genre interested him so intensively (throughout his entire life) as much as the song. And there were two poets whose works he continually set to music during this time: Schiller (since his early youth) and Goethe (since reading Faust in the autumn of 1814). (From the linernotes written by Walther Dürr) Poetry by Schiller,Goethe and other poets set to music by Schubert on this beautiful cd!
