Hugo Wolf - The Anniversary Edition
EMI Classics celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the famed Austrian composer Hugo Wolf with the release of this 8-CD box set. This exclusive box set contains some of Hugo Wolf s most notable works including his collections of Mörike-Lieder and Eichendorff Leider. Great singers have long been associated with the name of Hugo Wolf; before World War II Walter Legge was the inspiration behind the Hugo Wolf Society edition which still remains a benchmark for the performance of Lieder. His wife, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau have long been icons in the performance of Lieder and those of Wolf in particular. In this collection they are joined by singers of the present generation Thomas Allen, Olaf Bär, Ian Bostridge, Dawn Upshaw, Anne Sofie von Otter, Helen Donath, Brigitte Fassbaender and Monika Frimmer all who have been drawn to his great collection of songs; accompanists too, notably. Gerald Moore, Geoffrey Parsons, Helmut Deutsch and Antonio Pappano have been instrumental in ensuring that the music of Hugo Wolf continues to grace the halls where great Lieder are still performed.
