Description
This volume of our Schubert Edition is devoted to songs written in the last years of the composerâs life and contains some of his greatest, though not necessarily best-known Lieder. The two immortal songs in this volume, universally known and loved, are Lachen und Weinen and Du bist die Ruh, from 1822 and 1823 respectively. But other masterpiece are here tooâSchwestergruss, Dass die hier gewesen, and Totengräbers Heimweheâas well as a clutch of rare songs and partsongs. Again we have a stellar line-up of singers including Philip Langridge and Christopher Maltman.
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).
