'This enterprising, often revelatory set should intrigue and delight anyone interested in the development of the Lied' (The Gramophone)
'If 81 songs are too many to mention individually, sufficient variety exists and enough songs are receiving a first recording for this set to be indispensable for anyone interested in the genre' (International Record Review)
'Since making music with friends was Schubert's whole raison d'etre, this 3-CD box is an inspired idea … Led by the soprano Susan Gritton, the performances are pure A-list' (The Independent)
'Graham Johnson once again demonstrates that he has few peers today in his combined function as scholar-musician' (Fanfare, USA)
'Anyone who loves lieder will find here a rich, diverse, and delightful offering. There isn't a bad song among the 81 songs by 40 composers who wrote during Schubert's lifetime, and there's a lot of fine music here by well-known and also practically unknown composers and poets. The singing is consistently excellent... Anyone interested in this genre wll find here a broad-ranging and generous collection' (American Record Guide)

These generously filled discs were included as the ‘bonus’ discs in the forty-disc boxed set The Complete Songs by Franz Schubert CDS44201/40. They are now available as a set of three and are presented with comprehensive commentaries by Graham Johnson which firmly establish the composers—many of them barely known today—in the context of that flowering of musical creativity at the zenith of which later generations have placed Schubert himself. |
