"Dr. Herbert Pauls is our first choice translator for all booklet texts from German into English. We appreciate very much his musical and lyric comprehension and thus his ability to transport the deeper sense and "sound" of a German text mostly written by musicians or musicologists into the English language."
(Andreas Bertram, owner and producer of SPEKTRAL - CD label, Germany) |

Translations from German to English As a translator, I specialize in working with musical topics, although I can also handle a range of general interest topics as well as writing of a more theological nature. Up to this point, most of my translation work has been for the German CD label SPEKTRAL Records. I have prepared the English texts for about 60 of their CD booklets, with each booklet containing an essay ranging from about 3000 to 5000 words in addition to short biographies for the musicians on the recordings. Most of the SPEKTRAL essays are written by musicologists and generally have a good deal of scholarly depth. For a short recent sample of my translation work click here. If you would like to have an article or other item translated from German into English, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you. Also contained in each CD booklet are translations of several artist's biographies. If you want to have an English version of your German bio, please feel free to contact me. The following are three of the most recent productions from SPEKTRAL Records. |
