Jazzy D's Soul Notes

Some Schubert leider for your morning.

That whole Schubert song cycle series from Hyperion is fascinating. I recently acquired Cd no 16 in the series dead cheap. The texts here are based on the poet Friedrich von Schiller. This version is by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and this long track is a horror or gothic  fantasy. For all Goths out there.

Franz Schubert - Leichenfantasie D 7



Leichenfantasie (Funeral Fantasy)
Friedrich von Schiller


( German text and English translation )

Another mixed bag -

Plastic People of the Universe - Slavná nemesis (1979)



Often the music itself of this Czech underground prog band gets eclipsed by the whole political context. Both sides of the coin are fascinating, here's an extended dark chamber rock instrumental off of "Jak bude po smrti", one of my favourite pieces from them.

Josephine Foster - An Die Musik



An Die Musik, from the 2006 Josephine Foster album, A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, featuring unorthodox interpretations of 19th century German Lieder.

Ute Lemper - Alabama Song



Ivor Cutler and Linda Hirst - Women Of The World



Ivor Cutler- I Worn My Elbows
