Focusing on the music of the great song composers - Schubert, Schuman, Brahms, Wolf and Strauss, this work offers a systematic introduction to the performance and analysis of Lieder. The volume features poetic texts, as well as a core repertory of songs.
a most important book, rich in detail, authoritative, an extradordinarily well-written and well-researched document that is certain to become a pivotal study in the field..This is an absolutely essential acquisition for anyone having anything to do with the preparation and performance of German Lieder * Journal of Singing *
"More than a compendium of analytical concepts, this is a book that enables you to shape individual interpretations through personal encounter with a lively train of provocative questions and creative experiments."--Elly Ameling
Deborah Stein and Robert Spillman ... not merely give aspiring singers specific ideas but also pose questions about the songs, answers to which they can think out and analyse for themselves. This is of course an intelligent and helpful method. ... sensibly written for sensible people. Poetry into song is essentially a teaching manual, but lifted above and beyond what this may suggest by the enthusiasm, sense of adventure and respect for individuality which are marks that distinguish the best of teachers. * The Musical Times, 1 July 1997 *
the book proceeds in a structured and coherent manner ... a book which serious students of Lieder, whether singers or academics, will find stimulating * Martin Bussey, B J Music 14/3 *
