{"product_id":"fruhling-isasi-lieder","title":"Fruhling: Isasi Lieder","description":"Fr�hling is also a project that decisively sheds light on the figure of Andr�s Isasi (1890-1940), one of the most singular and underrepresented composers of early 20th-century Spain. At the heart of the album, Goikoetxea and Fern�ndez Aguirre offer the world-premiere recording of the complete Lieder-Album op. 16, a cycle composed in Berlin in 1913 and virtually unknown until today. These fourteen songs reveal a cosmopolitan Isasi at a moment of full creative maturity, shaped by his Central European training with Engelbert Humperdinck and attuned to the late-Romantic and Jugendstil currents of his time. The cycle blends intimate lyricism, legendary evocations, decadent impulses, and a refined harmonic language of striking modernity. Works such as Ali Bey, Fr�hling, Die ungetreue Luise, or Vergiftet sind meine Lieder display a uniquely personal voice that bridges the German Lied tradition with Basque imagery and an advanced European sensibility that was unusual for it's time. Goikoetxea and Fern�ndez Aguirre stand out for their elegance, their textual insight, and their ability to convey the emotional universe-at times na�ve, at times shadowed, always intensely poetic-of a composer whose vocal output was long overdue for a first-rate artistic rediscovery. The programme is framed within a broader exploration of Heinrich Heine's profound impact on European music. The album is completed with lieder by Liszt, Grieg, Ives, Rubinstein, Boulanger, Backer-Gr�ndahl, MacDowell, Sgambatti, and Castelnuovo-Tedesco, composers who, like Isasi, were captivated by the emotional depth and symbolic power of the German poet.","brand":"IBS Classical","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":45994916511978,"sku":"8436597701136","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4495293-3532988_d47aeab5-ecf7-4f47-844e-34a1d8b39087.jpg?v=1778215885","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/fruhling-isasi-lieder","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
