Synopsis

Amazon.com

In a very brief span of time, tenor Christoph Prégardien has established himself as a commanding interpreter of Schubert songs. This program has a certain bardic quality, with lots of songs about harps, or by people playing harps, including three Harper's Songs from Goethe's Wilhelm Meister. Schubert loved this sort of thing, and has a ball coming up with musical evocations of ages past. A marvelous collection. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Solid Collection of Lesser-known Schubert Lieder

T. Sparfeld | Miami, FL | 09/27/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Hyperion Schubert Edition is planned to contain all of the many German songs (lieder) of Franz Schubert. I'm not sure whether they've recorded all of them as of yet, but with over thirty CDs, they've got to be close.

CD #23 focuses on Schubert's Lieder written during 1816. The liner notes point out the fact that many of these songs are overlooked in the repertoire today, but let's be honest-with over 600 Schubert songs, a lot of them are going to be overlooked.

Most of these songs are short, sweet, and strophic. Two exceptions are tracks one (one of Schubert's `Ossian' songs, clocking at a monstrous 16 minutes) and two (a strophic choral setting of Das Grab, "The Grave"). My favorites on the album include Track 7, Abendlied, a Mozart-like piece, and Track 6, Der Jungling an der Quelle.

Pregardien's tenor voice is light and clear, with very good facility. The voice is well-suited for Lieder, as one might expect, and Pregardien stays within the bounds of these simple songs on this CD.

Naturally, this CD is a must-have for Schubert aficionados and music libraries, but I would certainly not recommend this CD as a first Schubert-song CD. Seek a recording of Fisher-Dieskau singing the Erlking, or a woman singing Gretchen am Spinnrade. If you enjoy those CDs and stumble across this one, however, you won't be disappointed.
