Synopsis

Amazon.com

Volume 25 in Hyperion's complete Schubert song edition consists of the famous song cycle Die schöne Müllerin (which sounds just awful when you translate it into "The Pretty Lady Miller"). Tenor Ian Bostridge made quite a splash with his singing of this work, though the recording is not as flattering as others in this series. An interesting gimmick is Dietrich Fischer- Dieskau's reading of the poems that Schubert didn't set. If you don't like this little touch, you can skip those tracks. Johnson's notes are incredible--a veritable tome, no less. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

A young voice that suits the spirit of the cycle

rau13@cs.com | New York N.Y. | 09/16/1999

"A recording to treasure. In a recent concert at Carnegie Hall, I was a little turned off by Bostridge's stage posturing,but the voice was there and what a voice it is! I highly recommend this recording,as well as his Schumann and Britten;concerning the present Schubert ,I find that his young sound very much goes with the youthful angst of the rejected lover.Buy it!"

I wonder anyone can surpass this

"This is a marvelous CD .Ian's temperemant are neatly fit to the cycle, both in age and sound. With his golden and fresh tone, the sorrow of the muller are more convincible and vivid compared to those old tenors. His interpretion is so moving that I wonder anyone can surpass this. Graham's accompaniment are as well superb as Fischer-Diskau's recite."

Big Surprise in this Schubert Series.

"'The Hyperion Schubert Edition Complete Songs Nr. 25 Die Schone Mullerin' was quite a surprise when it was first released. I still remember that in the Brit music journals such as Grammaphone, there was much speculation as to who would perform this most important series of Lieder. This is especially true since this, 'Winterreise, and 'Schwanengesang' have been done by the foremost interpreter of Lieder, baritone, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

Lo and behold, the series major domo, Graham Johnson has double teamed us with the Lieder being sung by new (at the time of release)tenor Ian Bostridge, with introductory material being read by Fischer-Dieskau himself.

I have heard Fischer-Dieskau's 'Die Schone Mullerin' and the interpretation is impeccable, but I really prefer the tenor range over the baritone for these songs.

I notice that Bostridge has recorded this same series for London, and I have not heard this recording, but I firmly endorse this rendition, especially if, like me, you are in love with big, uniform collections of musical works."
