Mendelssohn wrote his eight volumes of ‘Songs without Words’ between 1829 and 1845. So-called for their song-like quality, Mendelssohn himself wrote of them, ‘If you ask me what I had in mind…I would say: just the song as it is. And if I happen to have certain words in mind for one or another of these songs, I would never want to tell them to anyone, because the same words never mean the same things to others.’ Chopin’s D flat Nocturne of 1836 floats two exquisite, alternating song-like melodies over a broken chordal accompaniment. There’s a similar poetic lyricism to his melancholic Ballade No. 4 with its subtle harmonic complexities and wide emotional and architectural scope. Chopin-loving Liszt created piano transcriptions of Wagner’s operas to champion them to a wider public. His ‘Liebestod’ faithfully recreates the original’s shimmering orchestral textures below the soprano line. Lugansky’s Götterdämmerung arrangements are thus a natural addition to the repertoire.

English

Mendelssohn a composé ses huit volumes de Romances sans paroles entre 1829 et 1845. Il déclarait à leur sujet : « Si vous me demandez ce que j’avais à l’esprit… je vous répondrai : le chant tel qu’il est. Et s’il m’arrivait d’avoir certains mots à l’esprit pour l’une ou l’autre de ces chansons, je ne voudrais jamais les dire à qui que ce soit, car les mêmes mots n’ont jamais la même signification selon les individus ». Le Nocturne en ré bémol de Chopin de 1836 présente deux mélodies exquises, semblables à des chansons, accompagnées par des accords brisés. La mélancolique Ballade N° 4 avec ses subtilités harmoniques et sa profondeur émotionnelle, offre un lyrisme poétique similaire. Liszt, admirateur de Chopin, a adapté pour piano des extraits d’opéras de Wagner afin de les faire connaître à un plus large public. Son Liebestod recrée fidèlement les structures orchestrales chatoyantes de l’original sous la ligne de soprano. Les arrangements de Lugansky pour Götterdämmerung s’inscrivent donc naturellement dans cette lignée musicale.
