Erich J. Wolff was a friend and contemporary of Schoenberg and Zemlinsky - his songs were highly successful and much admired before the First World War. Wolff's tragic early death, however, contributed to his music being almost entirely forgotten today. Mostly dating from his final decade, the songs in this selection range from the charming children's cycle Vier Kinderlieder von Richard Dehmel, to the incomparably profound cemetery scene of Friedhof. The recital concludes with the radiant Mein Meister, one of Wolff's very last songs.
