Synopsis

Amazon.com

Volume 6 of Hyperion's complete Schubert song edition contains several settings of poems by Rochlitz, a second-rate writer and music critic. Rochlitz became famous not only because of these Schubert songs, but also for his harsh words about Beethoven's Wellington's Victory, which prompted the composer to compare Rochlitz's highest thoughts to his own bodily waste products. An interesting little backwater in musical history, that, and a lovely program of Schubert songs, this. Try it, you'll like it. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

One of my desert island CD.

Sen Peng Eu | Kaohsiung, Taiwan | 11/20/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Songs here are so charming that almost at the first hearing you are completely lured. They reflect the many facets of schubert's feeling about night, from safety homey, grandeur and splendid, to mystery and obscure, cold or warmth. Johnson's tone is just like the night---both laggish, seductive and mysterious. His interpretation "Die Sterne","Alinde","Des Fischers Liebesglueck", "Vor meiner Wiege" are very compelling and moving. An Excellent CD.One of my desert island choice."

Warm voices

"Do you know what voices could link with night?? Johnson would try to tell listenners his expression on this disc. Night, we could imagine it represente love, peace and dream, that's what Schubert try to show in his songs. Johnson was famous of some early music, we often foubd his show in bach, handel's oratorios, He sagn Schubert with emotional voices, full of warmth, it still touch my deeply heart and deliver night's diversity mood in people.

I strongly recommand it to Schubert's lovers, you shouldn't miss this one."
