with IPA and word for word translations and CDs of recorded diction lessons
This is a companion to The Lieder Anthology, edited by Virginia Saya and Richard Walters, with 65 songs by 13 composers. The diction lessons were recorded by Irene Spiegelman, German coach at the Metropolitan Opera. The diction for each song is recorded twice: first recited as an actor would speak it, showing flow of the language and the mood, followed by a slow, deliberate lesson, allowing time for the student to repeat each line. This experienced language coach adapts the “R” in German in the slow versions as recommended for classical singers.

While not traditional sheet music for an accompanist, this pronunciation guide is incredibly practical. When working with vocalists on Lieder, having a reliable resource like this ensures accurate diction. The IPA and recorded lessons save valuable rehearsal time, helping singers arrive prepared. It's a solid investment for any professional collaborating on German art songs, helping streamline the process for clients.

As a vocal instructor, this guide is invaluable. The IPA and word-for-word translations are clearly presented, making German diction accessible for students. The recorded lessons by Irene Spiegelman, with both conversational and slow, deliberate pronunciations, are a phenomenal teaching tool. It builds confidence in tackling Lieder, ensuring students grasp authentic phrasing and articulation. A must-have for any classical voice studio.

This is an outstanding companion for any vocal coach working with German Lieder. The comprehensive IPA, word-for-word translations, and especially the dual-speed recorded diction lessons by Metropolitan Opera coach Irene Spiegelman, are exemplary. It provides the precise linguistic foundation singers need, allowing me to focus on musicality. Ensures authentic performance practice and is an indispensable reference for supporting singers.

I've always wanted to sing Lieder authentically, and this guide is a dream! The CDs with Irene Spiegelman break down pronunciation so clearly, making it fun and achievable for a weekend player. Hearing the 'flow' version and then the slow, deliberate lesson helps me really grasp the German sounds. It’s so satisfying to feel like I’m truly doing justice to composers like Schubert and Brahms. Highly recommended for adult learners!
