Hugo Wolf
Mörike Lieder Part 1

Stone Records is delighted to announce its first Oxford Lieder Live release, a unique collaboration with the famous Oxford Lieder Festival.
This series will be the first complete edition of Wolf Lieder, a considerable number of which remain unrecorded. Starting in 2010, the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth, Oxford Lieder is promoting a series of concerts encompassing every song, all of which will be recorded and released on the Stone Records label.
The Mörike Lieder contain many of Wolf's finest creations and represent a perfect marriage of poet and composer.
The four singers on this first disc are internationally renowned Lieder singers and, together with the festival's artistic director at the piano, provide world-class interpretations of these exceptional songs.
"The audiences were treated to a series of outstanding and revelatory performances by all concerned. However Sholto Kynoch, who accompanied each of the singers with such empathy and consideration, deserves to be singled out for his remarkable contribution." Seen and Heard "This recording shows what can be done with enterprise, enthusiasm, dedication, and bold artistic vision. An inspiration for all!...
If tonight's performance is anything to go by, the CD will be worth getting" Doundou Tchil, Classical Iconoclast.
