There’s very little stylistic distance between the earliest of the five song-cycles for soprano and orchestra here – the Three Chinese Songs of 1914, settings of translations by Hans Bethge from the same collection that Mahler had quarried a few years earlier for Das Lied von der Erde – and the last – the Four Japanese Songs from 1945, again to Bethge texts. The later works don’t have the lyrical freshness of the Chinese Songs, which Camilla Nylund’s wonderfully refined performance reveals as a neglected treasure. Nylund also sings the five Romantic Songs – settings of Brentano and Eichendorff which Braunfels began during the first world war and completed during the second.
