About the album

Lieder by Max Kowalski

Max Kowalski, who lived and practiced law in Frankfurt am Main, was from 1913 till 1933 a well-known, much- esteemed, and frequently performed composer. Kowalski was born in Poland (then Russia) on August 10th, 1882 and grew up in Germany, to which his parents emigrated when he was a year old. Kowalski’s reputation rests on his production of more than two hundred art songs, which have been in the repertoire of many leading artists, including Heinrich Schlusnus, Maria Ivogün, Paul Bender, Joseph Schwarz, Alexander Kipnis, Karen Branzell, and Hans Hotter. The present CD is drawn from a recital sung in 2011 in Munich by the great Austrian baritone, Wolfgang Holzmair. It offers two song cycles and songs composed to texts by some of Germany’s leading poets. The CD includes Kowalski’s best known cycle, his Pierrot Lunaire, which appeared the same year (1913) as Arnold Schoenberg’s settings.
Lieder von Max Kowalski

Max Kowalski, Rechtsanwalt aus Frankfurt am Main, war zwischen 1913 und 1933 ein bekannter, sehr angesehener Komponist, dessen Werke häufig aufgeführt wurden. Kowalski wurde am 10. August 1882 in Polen geboren und wuchs in Deutschland auf, nachdem seine Eltern auswanderten als er ein Jahr alt war. Kowalski ist bekannt für die Komosition von mehr als 200 Kunstliedern, die im Repertoire vieler bekannter Künstler wie Heinrich Schlusnus, Maria Ivogün, Paul Bender, Joseph Schwarz, Alexander Kipnis, Karen Branzell und Hans Hotter zu finden waren.

Auf dieser Aufnahme ist der Österreichische Bariton Wolfgang Holzmair bei einem Rezitals von 2011 in München zu hören. Sie enthält zwei Liedzyklen und Lieder zu Texten bedeutender deutscher Dichter. Auch Kowalskis bekanntester Zyklus Pierrot Lunaire ist darauf zu finden, ein Zyklus, der wie Schönbergs Vertonung, im Jahr 1913 erschien.

Mr. Holzmair has an extensive discography of operas, concerts and songs ranging from Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert Brahms and Wolf to contemporary composers. His recordings have met with critical acclaim. For years he has also been a committed advocate of works, especially lieder, by formerly persecuted composers as is evidenced by his Krenek, Mittler, Zeisl, Schreker and Terezin/Theresienstadt CDs. His recording of Ein deutsches Requiem with Herbert Blomstedt won a Grammy award.
Since 1998 he has taught lied and oratorio at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and given master classes in Europe, Japan and North America. He is also a visiting professor of the Royal Academy of Music (London) and a fellow of the Royal College of Music (London).
