Reviews
The essays herein should appeal to a wide range of readers from the informed concert-goer who enjoys vocal music to conservatory students to the professoriate who will appreciate the exemplary scholarly apparatus. The editors are to be commended for a fine compilation that will pique interest in discovering or re-visiting the wide range of German song repertoire and the acclaimed artists who presented these cultural offerings to the world., "German Song Onstage abounds with fresh insights, the result of asking new questions about German song--all based on meticulous research. . . . Such a publication, of intrinsic value in its own right, provides a timely reminder that there are always fresh ways to approach a subject we thought we knew all there was to know."--James Parsons, Professor of Music History , Missouri State University "What emerges from [ German Song Onstage ] is a much fuller picture of historical lieder performance than has hitherto been available. Lieder is released from its patina of constraint back into the more fluid and flexible settings of the period which first produced it."--Susan Rutherford, Martin Harris School of Music and Drama, University of Manchester "The essays herein should appeal to a wide range of readers from the informed concert-goer who enjoys vocal music to conservatory students to the professoriate who will appreciate the exemplary scholarly apparatus. The editors are to be commended for a fine compilation that will pique interest in discovering or re-visiting the wide range of German song repertoire and the acclaimed artists who presented these cultural offerings to the world."--Barry Zaslow, Miami University, Music Reference Services Quarterly "This volume offers a multifaceted overview of the rich history of German song, and challenges contemporary performers and audiences, like Janus with a wide angle lens, to look at the totality oflieder's history to determine performance practice. It is highly recommended."--Debra Greschner, Journal of Singing "The editors are to be commended for a fine compilation that will pique interest in discovering or re-visiting the wide range of German song repertoire and the acclaimed artists who presented these cultural offerings to the world."--Barry Zaslow - Miami University, Music Reference Services Quarterly, The editors are to be commended for a fine compilation that will pique interest in discovering or re-visiting the wide range of German song repertoire and the acclaimed artists who presented these cultural offerings to the world.

Synopsis
1. This book breaks new ground in lieder studies by exploring archival material and historical performance material that was previously unavailable, giving readers a broader view of historical lieder performance than was previously available. 2. The book's editors are two leaders in the field of German song. Both are experienced authors who have also edited volumes previously. The book includes essays by the leading scholars of German Lied as well as the rising stars of the field. 3. The book takes a transnational approach, including a range of perspectives from the USA to Russia, A singer in an evening dress, a grand piano. A modest-sized audience, mostly well-dressed and silver-haired, equipped with translation booklets. A program consisting entirely of songs by one or two composers. This is the way of the Lieder recital these days. While it might seem that this style of performance is a long-standing tradition, German Song Onstage demonstrates that it is not. For much of the 19th century, the songs of Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms were heard in the home, salon, and, no less significantly, on the concert platform alongside orchestral and choral works. A dedicated program was rare, a dedicated audience even more so. The Lied was a genre with both more private and more public associations than is commonly recalled. The contributors to this volume explore a broad range of venues, singers, and audiences in distinct places and time periods?including the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany?from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. These historical case studies are set alongside reflections from a selection of today's leading musicians, offering insights on current Lied practices that will inform future generations of performers, scholars, and connoisseurs. Together these case studies unsettle narrow and elitist assumptions about what it meant and still means to present German song onstage by providing a transnational picture of historical Lieder performance, and opening up discussions about the relationship between history and performance today., A singer in an evening dress, a grand piano.
