GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE

'14 of Schubert's most verdant Lieder, presented with a purity of voice which matches their purity of heart' (The Times)

'I have never heard Elizabeth Connell's voice more beautifully caught on disc than in this Schubert series' (The Guardian)

'Once more Graham Johnson puts us in his debt by his considered juxtaposition of apposite songs and by bringing to notice pieces, not to say masterpieces, that have been unduly neglected. Elizabeth Connell is at her very best here' (Gramophone)

'A must for all Schubertians' (American Record Guide)

Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828)

The Hyperion Schubert Edition, Vol. 05 – Schubert & the Countryside

Elizabeth Connell (soprano), Graham Johnson (piano)
