The songs follow the narrative a novella by Ludwig Tieck (1773-1853), a favourite of Brahms in his youth, which tells of a handsome noble warrior, Count Peter of Provence, who travels to Naples and falls in love with the Princess Magelone. Drama ensues involving pirates, a beautiful Sultans daughter and a near-betrayal. Roderick Williams says of the songs ''Either I am a sucker for late-Romantic song or perhaps for histrionic fairytales of derring-do and blushing maidens, but I for one was enthralled on first hearing. This unique recording presents the original cycle - along with the Four Serious Songs - and a version where Roderick intersperses the songs with Rogers English translations from Tiecks original story. He says: ''I hoped it might help persuade some audiences, perhaps unfamiliar with these songs and especially out of their context, that this really is a most terrific and enchanting work. I hoped it might connect with the wide-eyed child in us all, anyone who cannot resist Once upon a time Roderick Williams was the winner of the 2016 RPS Singer award, is the Artistic Director of Leeds Lieder and in demand around the world as a recitalist, in opera and with orchestras. Roger Vignoles has collaborated with some of the worlds greatest singers, and has an extensive discography across a wide range of lieder and song.","brand":"Champs Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53809955373398,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_5060212591111_1.jpg?v=1781816208","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/roderick-williams-roderick-williams-romanzen-aus-die-schoene-magelone-5060212591111","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
