Schenker-Primus/Simon - Hans Pfitzner: Complete Lieder Vol. 4 - Vier Lieder nach Texten von Heinrich Heiner, St�ndchen, Untreu und Trost

The foundations of Hans Pfitzner�s Romantic musical idiom can be found in his earliest compositions. Almost all of the songs in this programme date from Pfitzner�s school and student days, with the young composer tapping into a particularly rich vein of creativity. From rediscovered manuscripts such as the surprisingly assured St�ndchen to the earliest settings of his favourite lyric poet, Joseph von Eichendorff, these songs display all of the intimacy and atmosphere that would make Pfitzner a key figure of early 20th-century music.
