Jonathan Retzlaff, baritone
Jennifer McGuire, piano
The turn of the 18th to the 19th century in Europe gave rise to a host of compositional innovations in French Mélodie and German Lieder. An expanded harmonic palate, including the use of chromaticism, modal/scalar influences and emphasis on rhythmic setting of texts which remained faithful to the spoken word, fostered an era of some of the finest Lied and Mélodie composed within their genres. While most French composers reacted against what they saw as the excesses of Richard Wagner and those who worshiped him at Beyreuth, listen for yourself and conclude whether the French succeeded in a parting of the ways philosophically, aesthetically and musically. Baritone Jonathan Retzlaff and pianist Jennifer McGuire present a recital showcasing the works of Ravel, Wolf, Griffes and Debussy spanning the years 1890-1910 — the fin de siècle.
