Diana Damrau - Liszt Lieder

NEW ALBUM OUT NOW: http://links.emi.com/LisztLieder ... After her sumptuous album of Strauss songs with orchestra, soprano Diana Damrau marks the bicentenary of Liszt's birth with an album of his most celebrated songs in German, French and Italian, accompanied by pianist Helmut Deutsch.

In choosing to visit Liszt's songs, the German soprano is venturing into repertoire that, perhaps surprisingly, remains for the most part outside the mainstream of recital programming. Over a period of 45 years Liszt wrote 70 or so songs, making two or more versions of over a third of them. Damrau's collection includes his most frequently heard songs, written to German and Italian texts by, among others, Goethe, Heine and Petrarch. They include the three demanding and exalted Sonetti del Petrarca, the haunting fairytale 'Die Loreley', the evocative 'Die drei Zigeuner' (which reminds us of Liszt's Hungarian blood), and the lyrical, wistful 'O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst', which was to become a 'greatest hit' for the composer in its adaptation for solo piano -- Liebestraum No 3.

Singers usually use their arms and hands like this to help them with singing. Even great opera singers. It just helps us express the song better and to engage support, help with the flow of breath, and the dynamics of the song, things like that. Obviously when performing on stage opera singers don't flail their arms and hands around, but in practise-mode, they do. It just helps.
