Was this piece orchestrated for baritone or mezzo-soprano? I thought it was mezzo-soprano until I heard the baritone version on the radio. Any thoughts? Thanks
As far as I know, "Songs of a Wayfarer" was composed simply for VOICE and orchestra; either baritone or mezzo-soprano can be employed. Personally,
I think this piece is better when sung by a baritone (especially Thomas Hampson or even Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau).
