Description
This is the penultimate volume of the Hyperion Schubert Edition. It is devoted to music from the penultimate year of Schubertâs short life, 1827. There are 17 widely varied items in it including three Italian settings, three rare fragments never before recorded, the comic cantata Der Hochzeitsbraten, and a touching thanksgiving tribute for the recovery from illness of 17-year-old Irene Kiesewetter, written for four soloists, choir and two pianists.
All of the music on this album is also available as part of the specially priced box set The Complete Songs of Franz Schubert: âThis is an archive of glorious Lieder singing as much as it is a definitive treasury of the greatest Lieder ever composedâ (The Guardian).
