    5 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful!.......2002-01-28

    Our family subscribed to the Beethoven complete collection when it was first published on LP's decades ago. The Lieder volume (still in my possession) was one of my favorites. I have been hoping for a CD version of this collection and am so glad to see it! As the downloadable excerpts demonstrate, these songs provide a simple presentation, but with depth of beauty and accomplishment that are a delight. Sometimes majestic, often playful, each song is a gem and many are sure to become your favourite themes in the world of music. We especially love Fischer-Diescau's performances; what a voice! The quartet arrangements bring out the pathos or frivolity of the genres in which they are used most excellently. If you like Beethoven's piano music, get the Lieder CD; the piano is lovely and the singing along with it add a dimension you are sure to love.

      5 out of 5 stars Roman Trekel sings Carl Loewe ballads.......2007-05-09

      German baritone Roman Trekel has a wonderfully expressive and warm voice. He can convey any range of emotions, and he is a natural story-teller. His rendering of these dramatic ballads and songs of Carl Loewe is thrilling and moving. Roman Trekel studied with the master of lieder singing, Dietrich Fisher-Dieskau, but it is Mr. Trekel's own unique style that will capture the listener.

      Eight of the ten works here are extensive narrative works (narrative in the sense of a story or epic being sung). "Dark Eyes" is a melodrama with a waltz melody, about a nobleman obsessed with a woman with dark eyes (who does not even seem aware that he exists). He ends up being challenged by the woman's husband while serenading her outside her bedroom window, kills her husband, and then is himself killed by her father.

      "The Bachelor," one of two short works in the collection, is a pleasant and catchy song about an elusive bachelor who eventually learns the bitter truth about ending up alone.

      Carl Loewe himself often enjoyed singing "Great-grandfather's Visitors." From a collection of poems called Village Tales, it is beautifully lyric, combining the sad reality and sprite-filled dreamworld of a lonely old man. It is touching and has a satisfying ending about the old man's "reawakened dormant heart."

      "The Imprisoned Admiral" is believed to be based on the Iron Mask, the enigmatic captive from the times of Louis XIV. In the midst of his present misery and imprisonment, the old admiral reflects on his exciting youthful fighting days at sea. It is one of Loewe's greatest ballads.

      "The Count of Habsbug, based on Friedrich Schiller's large-scale ballad, is about King Rudolf, the first freely-elected king of the Holy Roman Empire, in the 13th century. It is full of images and details about an event in the king's life.

      "The Rare Prayer" is based on an actual historical figure in the 18th century, a prince nicknamed "the Old Mustache." It is a touching ballad about the old warrior, who is not used to praying, who pleads with God unsuccessfully for the life of his daughter, and who bitterly reflects at the end, "If God had come to me, I would not have acted so harshly."

      "The Corpse at St. Just" actually refers to the Emperor Charles V (1519-1556). The ballad, which has a spiritual and contemplative sound, emphasizes the contrast between the Emperor's former glory and his simple funeral rites as a monk.

      "The Cradlesong at Gent" is another ballad about Emperor Charles V, and tells of the future emperor's birth in the Spanish Netherlands in 1500. It has a fairy-tale quality, where regal guests present their often whimsical gifts and corresponding wishes for the newborn: a golden sword covered in a sash of silk -- be strong but mild; two celestial globes presented by an astronomer -- look up to the light and you too will find a place among the stars; a single cherry stone in a big bowl -- you too have a great future in the bud, they tell the infant.

      "The Beggar" was originally planned by the poet Goethe as an opera libretto, based on a story from Boccacio's Decameron and a ballad by an Irish bishop. Goethe never created the libretto, but at least this ballad remains. It is dramatic, yet a thoroughly pleasant-sounding work. A beggar is called into a castle by some children to tell them a story, and his narrative ends up in a dramatic finale. There are some striking images, such as the children calling out to the beggar, "we are alone, mother is praying and father is out hunting wolves."

      If you are a fan of Thomas Quasthoff, another great baritone, you will definitely enjoy Roman Trekel. This album is one of twenty in the Carl Loewe Lieder & Balladen collection, all accompanied by the very fine pianist Cord Garben. The entire series is excellent, and I especially recommend the two albums in the series by Roman Trekel, Volume 3 (this album) and Volume 16. Included is a booklet with the lyrics in German and English, and excellent backround notes.

      5 out of 5 stars Roman Trekel - unique, yet eerie similarity to Thomas Quasthoff.......2007-04-28

      Listening to the extremely gifted baritone Roman Trekel, I suddenly realized that his instrument is similar to that of the wonderful Thomas Quasthoff. Although each has his own unique style, it is the voice itself that sounds as if they could be brothers! And like Thomas Quasthoff, Roman Trekel's baritone is rich and smooth, with deep emotive power, and graced by perfect enunciation.

      These Carl Loewe (1796-1869) ballads are wonderful, full of strange and fantastic stories, based on very imaginative poetry, including several poems by Lord Byron. Roman Trekel is superbly expressive in bringing out the drama in the ballads, and his voice is richly handsome.

      Included is a booklet with lyrics in both German and English, and interesting background notes on each song. This disc is part of a 20-volume series, Carl Loewe: Lieder & Balladen, which, unfortunately, seems to be out of print. If it is ever reissued, I hope the lyrics in both languages are included, as it would be a shame to miss out on the stories involved in these ballads.

      I highly recommend this album, and also recommend seeking out more songs by Carl Loewe, as well as other albums by Roman Trekel.

        Album Description

        Volume 19 of the Loewe Edition features a collection of twenty-four perfectly attuned pieces composed by Loewe during a period extending from 1825 to 1859. In addition to Napoleon Ballads depicting events that are in no way historically attested, ballads of very different national stamp again find their place on the listening program: travelogues from Arabia (Maisuna at the Well, The Oasis, Song of a Little Bird in the Oasis) and native pictures from Persia (Ali and Fatme). The young Loewe set six delightful little songs with the Serbian Song Cycle and even in serious songs of religious content Ingeborg Danz shines as a storyteller and dramatic interpreter.

          This Volume of the Loewe Ballads & Lieder is an absolute delight ! If you are a lover of the Loewe ballads/lieder you will find this release thoroughly enjoyable and in Loewe's best melodic style. A bonus of this album is that only 2 of songs on it have been recorded previously.
