) | Label: Catalog: MVC002006 Format: COMPACT DISC ATEM DUOThe Lied from Jugendstil to Cabaret. The 'Lied', a special literary-musical form probably originating in the Carolingian Kirchenlieder and widely spread in Germany speaking countries, had its moment to glory in the XIX century. It is in this period, in fact, that composers such as Schubert, Schumann, Franz, Brahms, Wolf, Reger, Pfitzner and Strauss turned this essentially popular genre-'song' being the English translation for 'Lied' - into something exquisitely artistic. But for all the importance and meaningfulness of the Lieder production in the XIX century, sings of decline were already evident at the beginning of the XX, due probably to the development of new compositional techniques and to the composers' new approach to poetry. With some exceptions: a number of musicians who lived in Vienna and Berlin and great contributed to the liveliness and complexity of the artistic climate of these cites, chose the Lied as one of their expressive means, thus giving it new life and impulse.
