Of over 600 songs, Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore realized over three-quarters: these are those. Gerald Moore was of course as important to this project as Fischer-Dieskau.

Operatic Schubert that works, for once.......2006-01-09

Bryn Terfel issn't the first heroic bass-baritone to try lieder singing, but for every Hans Hotter who succeeds there's a George London who doesn't. In opera a singer who expresses an inward emotion msut still fill the house with sound. Terfel knows how to scale his voice to a whisper, but that would just be a trick if he didn't go inside personally. He can do that very well while singing strongly--a rare gift--and he dares to employ the high dramatics of oprea, flooding the listener with gorgeous vocalism while maintaining contact with Schubert's intent.

I don't mean to sound so clinical. The simple secret of Terfel's success is his ability to communicate. Every song here is familiar, but whether in Die Forelle, Erlkonig, or Der Musensohn, he finds a way to chatacterize the words emotionally--in this his success mirrors Jessye Norman's, who also sang a thrilling Schubert recital early in her career that gloried in her huge sound instead of trying to supress it. With this 1994 CD and his "Vagabond" recital of English art songs Terfel secured his place at the top of the singing world.

My first recording with Bryn Terfel and I love it!.......2004-02-17

If there is a man who can sing his heart out with Schubert, it's Bryn Terfel. His voice is very much like chiaroscuro; light like the morning dawn, loud like the tearing thunder or gathering waves! The welsh baritone sings the songs as if he feels them and is bursting out his soul. As he said when singing a Mozart opera as I read, "I'm going to sing the hell out of this!". But hell sounds too much like heaven. The arist has a gift and he uses it to the extent. And Die Musik is one disc everyone should have in their collection.

Terfel's all-encompassing Schubert recital.......2003-10-23

This Schubert CD is one of the first high notes in Bryn Terfel's solo discography for DG. Although you might find him at home singing Rodgers & Hammerstein musical excerpts, or a popular Welsh song, this recital of Schubert shows Terfel as sympathetic when he interprets the lieder of this Austrian "sunshine composer." Terfel leads us through a good 69 minutes of 23 favourite Schubert songs, ably backed by the authoritative piano accompaniments of Malcolm Martineau that create the effect of a magic carpet for Bryn, and engage in a sparkling dialogue with him. And DG has ably capped this winning recital with a natural, ambient and clear recording in Hamburg's Friedrich-Ebert Halle .

Terfel's Schubert recital encompasses a great range of moods and emotions. These range from the joie de vivre of "Die Forelle" to the tender, soft and seductive strains of the overplayed "Standchen." In these two immensely popular songs, Terfel gives the Midas touch until you sense it turning into gold. Terfel is also able to let us face the apocalyptic terror of the first song, "Gruppe aus dem Tartarus" and the smooth-talking malevolance of "Der Tod und das Madtchen." But yet, Terfel also treats us to selections that we know are enjoyable, and where he ably evokes the appropriate mood of each song. In his restless "Der Wanderer," he sings it until he makes us want to cry because he evokes the mood of the narrator's restless sould so vividly. There is also a hair-raising and dramatic "Erlkonig" where Terfel ably creates contrasts between the three characters in the story. But perhaps the best songs are those where he savours every moment and has an honest, winning expression. His rendition of the title track, "An die Musik" has a sincere and simple charm that matches the sentiments of the song, and he is able to convey to us the wonder of "Gaymed" and the charming Shakespearean song, "An Silvia." He caps this winning persona with a delightful "Heidenrslein" and "Die Taubenpost" and a cheerful and outgoing rendition of the last song, "Der Musensohn." The only wuibble I have is that 70 minutes is too short to hear Terfel tackle the all-important Schubert songs from his over-600, and I do hope he'll consider recording a volume 2 in the near future. This album seems to omit some of the other well-loved songs like Der Lindenbaum, Fruhlingsglaube, Gretchen am Spinnrade, Horch, horch die Lerch and the original version of Ave Maria with the German translation of Scott.

On the whole, I find this a wonderful Terfel recital of Schubert lieder, and Terfel seems like he is savouring every moment of it. This is one of the essential purchases for anyone who is getting into Bryn Terfel, and should be well-considered alongside the Rodgers & Hammerstein and Welsh albums. Now I wonder when Terfel will come up with a Volume 2 with more well-known Lieder...

Die Forelle und ErlKoenig.......2001-10-22

This is really a delightful CD. I was amazed by the interpretation of "Der Erlkoenig" und thoroughly enjoyed
"Die Forelle". It feels like a brave and extaordinarily
capable voice was at work in the making of this CD.
Very gifted singer !

A superb performance.......2001-04-21

This recording shows very well what Bryn Terfel can do with lieder. He is more dramatic than many rivals - not afraid to use full voice at times or a faint whisper. His Erlkonig is possibly the finest thing on this recording - the characterizations may be too extreme for some tastes, but shows Terfel's ability to capture the listener. Martineau rises superbly to the challenge of supporting this great voice. The recording is also very realistic.

George Frideric Handel and Hamburg town councillor and poet Barthold Heinrich Brockes were students at the same time in Halle, and it's probable that they knew each other and were perhaps even friends. Brockes wrote a nine-volume anthology, from the first volume of which Handel, between 1724 and 1727, set his Nine German Arias. In translation, the Brockes work is titled "Earthly Delight in God, Consisting of Physical and Moral Poems," the texts reflecting pleasure in the glory of God's natural creation. Handel had been writing opera in England since 1710; the reason behind the composition of these arias, his last works in German, and which were unpublished in his lifetime, remains unknown. Nevertheless, this is ravishingly beautiful music, impeccably crafted and here performed with exquisitely balanced and open textures by the award-winning Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. Dorothea Röschmann is a wonderfully warm soprano, ideally suited to the generous spirit of this repertoire. She has previously recorded Handel's Messiah, Bach's Christmas Oratorio, and Telemann's Orpheus; Telemann's E minor and G major quartets from his 1733 collection of "Table Music" make delightful instrumental interludes in this vibrant, eloquent, and utterly captivating program. --Gary S. Dalkin

A Recording of Lesser Known But Exquisite Handel Arias.......2005-08-06

The various arias by George Frideric Handel and Georg Philipp Telemann gathered on this recording are less well known works by these great composers and as such they provide a fresh addition to the catalogue. Written for voice and continuo with occasional added flute, oboe, violin and cello, these nine arias by Handel were written between 1724 and 1727, well after Handel had established himself as a successful opera composer. They are elegant and eloquent: his consideration for the voice is ever present. The Telemann works are two of his quartets for voice and instruments and are better known than the Handel arias.

Dorothea Röschmann is a fine musician, far better known in Europe than in this country (a bit distressing!). She has a number of very fine recordings of oratorios and operas in the catalogue, each of which displays the broad spectrum of her talent. While the voice is not exuberantly exciting, Röschmann's musicality and intelligence is superb. Her voice is warm and flexible and she performs these baroque works with much style. Well worth adding to the collections of fine baroque recordings. Grady Harp, August 05

ALLES JAUCHZET.......2004-08-01

`Everything rejoices'. The poems of Handel's 9 German arias rejoice in God's creation as manifested in the beauty of nature. They are the work of Barthold Heinrich Brockes, a fellow-student with Handel at university with whom he seems to have stayed on friendly terms. Handel's arias are not early works, they date from the height of his English period and are not known or believed to have been written to any commission or for any specific occasion. They do not seem to have been composed as a set. In style they come as close to Bach as anything I know by Handel, although I don't mean by that that they sound like Bach. You would not easily mistake their authorship, but what they show is the `absolute' musician in Handel rather than the musical dramatist or rhetorician. The voice is accompanied in each song by a single solo instrument, mostly violin but varied on this disc with flute and oboe, and by a standard continuo, and they are simply exquisite. They are not miniatures either - the shortest, In den angenehmen Buschen, has no middle section and takes four and a half minutes or thereabouts, the longest, Suesser Blumen, takes nearly eight and a half - in other words they are the length of representative movements from the Beethoven sonatas. Where they resemble neither Bach nor Beethoven nor anyone else in musical history is in Handel's incomparable feel for the voice and his unequalled instinct for how words go to music.

Dorothea Roeschmann is a new artist to me, and an acquaintance I'm pleased to make. These days the standard of work we are offered by the various early-music groups is so high and so consistent that nothing less than excellence will do, and we are offered nothing less than excellence here, by Roeschmann, by the Berlin Akademie and indeed by Harmonia Mundi. The disc is also excellent value, containing as it does nearly 80 minutes of music. What they have all done is to make a concert of it rather than just a recording of 9 arias. The order of the arias is rearranged, which surely ought to bother nobody as they were not conceived as a set in the first place. After the fifth and ninth arias there is a `quatuor' for flute, oboe, violin and continuo by Telemann. These are in the standard four short movements with slow and fast alternating that one finds in the trio sonatas of Handel himself and other contemporaries. They are thoroughly enjoyable and offset the work of the greater master very effectively. The liner note accompanying the texts of the arias is by Roman Hinke with English and French translations at all points. It is really quite useful and informative, but I am still getting over the hearty Teutonic similitude comparing the Telemann works to `the culturally enriching equivalent of the swirl of whipped cream topping the pigeon pie with champagne truffles', which reads even better in German as `das schoengeistige Sahnehaeubchen zu Taubenpastete mit Champagnertrueffeln'. Hard to argue with that really, indeed in my own town we eat little else.

Joyous, Contemplative Music -- Earthy, Spiritual Singing.......2002-06-24

I cannot recommend this recording highly enough. All elements are in delightful harmony. With recordings of the Neun Deutsche Arien from two of my favorite singers, Arleen Augér and Emma Kirkby, this performance still came as a revelation. The strength of the ensemble deserves much credit, but it's the rich individuality of Ms. Röschmann's voice that is the recording's distinct and defining merit. A mezzo's cushiness, an alto's huskiness, with the soprano's reach-all lending the pieces an essential blend of the earthy and the spiritual. Her technique is quite unusual and interesting, and wholly convincing here, although an approach I hope she doesn't take indiscriminately elsewhere. She possesses melting legato, estimable breath control, delicious and judicious vibrato. Her way with the coloratura is surefooted ... yet somewhat throaty and with a somewhat unrefined feel, giving the music an appeal that is direct, simple, even humble rather than ornate. The flung leaps and offhand passage work might not work with an older voice or less attractive timbre, but here they seem to flow from the mood and the melody, truly enhancing the character of the music. (René Jacobs, the middling countertenor who has evolved over the last 15 years into one of the world's most accomplished early-music conductors, above all in Monteverdi, is credited with the ornamentation.)The pieces are an oddity even in Haendel's varied output. The texts are idyllic pictures of pantheistic contentment. These are couched in durable melodies, following the model of the da capo aria (ABA), but with the contrasting middle section here offering very little by way of contrast-certainly not in tempo or mood, though they can be less overtly melodic, almost parenthetical. (Omission of woodwind from the B section in a couple of instances is the only significant formal nod to this convention.) The instrumentation is for strings and harpsichord or organ, with woodwind in some pieces-flute, oboe, or bassoon, never more than one in any aria. It's a rather foursquare arrangement, but with some unusual harmonies expertly slipped in.The ensemble here is very accomplished: subtle and supple violin, expressive lower strings, appropriately recessed continuo, lilting winds. The violin work has an improvised effect, such is its sweetness of tone, fluidity in tempo, flexibility in rubato, sensitivity in ornamentation. The lower strings (including a viole d'amour that seems sometimes to be strummed) have less opportunity to shine, but are consistent and beautiful and never prone to tiring sameness; I did love the amusing digs of the bass in the seventh aria (presented second here) at the line "Die ihr aus dunklen Grüften" ("Ye that from dark pits"). These arias, with their spirituality residing securely in baroque formality, are very Bachian in nature and ability to satisfy.The virtues of the instrumental ensemble fully justify entrusting them with the "filler" items on the disc, two quartets by Telemann. (Note that the fourth part of the quartet is basso continue, which if my ears don't deceive can be taken by bass, harpsichord, or both.) The E minor quartet for flute, violin, cello, and continuo is fairly moody. The G major for flute, oboe, violin, and bass is more extrovert, with greater contrasts between sections: for example, the expansive second movement starts out briskly, but leads to an elegiac middle section with stirrings of the abandoned briskness before the restatement. The third movement, Largo, is transitory and not developed at all, leading into the jubilant finale with vigorously strummed strings that has an appropriate valedictory atmosphere.This recording is a wonderful treasure and was one of my very favorites of 2001. I look forward to hearing Ms. Röschmann in Lieder, where her gifts must certainly lead her.

Pick up the pace, this is joyful music!.......2000-09-05

After the high praise for this disk I was disappointed. Roeschmann has a clear but rich voice and sings beautifully. The German arias themselves are absolutely gorgeous. However, the Academie take most of the pieces at such a slow pace that I could not really enjoy the music. These are songs in praise of the wonder of the natural world and I think they should be sung joyfully, but most on the new disc are taken at a funereal pace. I much prefer the version Emma Kirkby did on EMI with the Parley of Instruments, unfortunately out of print now. Vocally she may not be quite as fluid as Roeschmann but her faster tempi (3 minutes shorter in the first song) are much more charming. The use of oboe on flute on the new version is a nice touch, though.

Ravishing young soprano.......2000-07-22

Some of you may remember Handel's Deutsche Arien from an old 1960's DG recording with Gundula Janowitz. Surprisingly, few if any other sopranos have recorded these gorgeous songs since then (a not very tempting recording with Catherina Lingendza came in between). So we must congratulate HM and Dorothea Roschmann for this marvelous release. These contemplative songs (no baroque bravura here) need a Lieder singer, and Dorothea Roschmann is admirable and delightful, not unlike a young Irmgaard Seefried. The solo group and the recorded sound are excellent, so this is one of the best recitals of the year, next to Sara Mingardo's Vivaldi disc in OPUS111.

Correction.......2006-12-13

Now folks, both of what the two other reviewers wrote about the tragical death of Fritz Wunderlich is wrong. Wunderlich died in hospital at September 17 1966. He had broken his skull, when he fell down the stairs in the hunting-house of a friend. Late in the evening of September 16, Wunderlich, as usual when not at home, had phoned his wife in Munich. He was very tired from strolling through the forest the whole day, making out the ideal locations for the hunt, which should start early in the next morning (Wunderlich was a passionate hunter). After he had wished his wife a good night, he went to the staircase in order to go down to his bedroom at the first floor. He still wore his heavy hunting boots - with open shoestrings! As walking downstairs, Wunderlich struggled over the open shoestrings and grabbed for the banisters, which was not more than a rope, fixed to the wall. The banisters teared out, and Wunderlich fell down the whole stairs. Fritz Wunderlich died in hospital the next day. It was only short before his 36'th birthday. An exceptional singing career had come to an untimely end. Some people believe that Wunderlich was drunken at the time of accident. If this is true can't be proven any more. But still this is not what his close friends said, regarding his accident and his death. In my opinion Wunderlich was the last of the really great tenors of the last century. All the tenors which came to fame after him (sorry folks, even such maestros as Pavarotti and Domingo) lack a certain quality in singing. It's the ease of breath flow, or singing on the breath without pushing the voice, it's the overtones, the legato, the mezza voce, the messa di voce and many more things - in short: the overall beauty of the voice through both registers. Wunderlich was the last tenor who had all this. Other examples are Caruso, McCormack, Gigli (despite the sobbing in his later recordings) and of course the wonderful Jussi Björling. But these are only some few names. If you listen for example to the cd's in the box "Famous tenors of the past" you will find that there were many very good and outstanding tenors in the first half of the 20'th century and - as we can only assume - in the time before the invention of the grammophone. Take a close look at todays famous tenors (I know, there are some quite good and promising ones) but what are they in comparison to those tenors (or better to say, to their voices and singing) I just mentioned before?

Please make your own decision.

Fritz Wunderlich can do no wrong...........2006-05-05

... okay, maybe. It's just that I've never heard a recording I didn't love. And I prefer that he sing everything in German even when that means not using original language.

This is a bit strange because I'm most often bugged by Don Carlos and Vepres in Italian (just a personal quirk). Of course, I'm also bugged by dropping the "s" in Don Carlos, which is always incorrect. The man's name IS Carlos whether in Italian or French.

I tried to write Mr. Avila a personal note, but could not, so let me say that Fritz Wunderlich did not die of cancer, but a dreadful accident in Scotland (I'll not go into the whys and wherefores, I just wanted to set PART of the record straight.)

The Wonder of Wunderlich.......2005-11-22

Deutsche Grammophone does it again! This is an extensive 3-cd compilation album featuring the artistry of the great German tenor Fritz Wunderlich in a variety of vocal repertoire - Baroque cantata/oratorio, opera and Lieder. Like the other critic pointed out, I first heard Fritz sinigng a superb Tamino in the Karl Bohm Magic Flute, although I have also heard him sing Lieder opposite the mezzo soprano Christa Ludwig and baritone Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, who were his contemporaries and colleagues. Wunderlich died tragically in 1966 of cancer. He inspired a generation of purely lyric tenors or "tenors di grazie" whose charming voice would never roughen and lack grace. His Germanic style earned him popularity in World War II Europe and he was the leading exponent of Lieder in the 50's. His tenor voice is glorious, as close to a male angel as possible. On this recording, we are treated to sumptuous arias from Bach's Christmas/Easter Oratorios, and movements from 2 cantatas. Also noteworthy are the unsurpassed performances of Mozart tenor heroes- such as Belmonte from "Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail" (Abduction from the Seraglio) and his unbeatable Tamino from Die Zauberflote The Magic Flute. He sings bel canto opera arias fo tenor, from master composers Rossinni, Bellini and Verdi. While I don't much like that he is singing Italian arias in German, one must remember that at this time, in the LP Era of World War II Germany and Austria, German-born opera singers sang Italian opera in German translation/revisions. While many German singers could indeed sing in Italian, they were mostly trained to sing it in German because of excessive national pride and because Germans viewed Italian opera as course and un-melodic. Still, there have been superb German singers who sang in Italian like Wagner diva Birgit Nilsson,baritone Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, tenor Peter Schreier, soprano Edda Moser, baritone Walter Berry, tenor Herman Pretty, all post-Wunderlich sensations. Wunderlich sings Lieder in one CD with great and unrivaled musicianship. Especially impressive are the Viennese pieces. Further to the cd's this album is equipped with photos of Wunderlich and his family and a detailed profile biography.

I wish I could give this release more than 5 stars: it's terrific!!!.......2005-10-28

I knew little about the German tenor Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), except reading the accolades given to his recordings and performances by reviewers in "American Record Guide" over the past 13 years. I knew Wunderlich recorded the role of Tamino in the famous DG recording of Mozart's "Die Zauberflote", with Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic (Now on DG Originals CDs), but was not aware of what a wide range of repertoire he had until hearing this release.

This release has a wide variety of Wunderlich's discography, including Bach arias from his Christmas and Easter Oratorios, and movements from 2 cantatas; his Mozart roles in "Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail" (Eugen Jochum/Bavarian Radio Orchestra) and "Die Zauberflote" (Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic); a variety of arias and duets by Rossini, Bellini, Verdi, Richard Strauss, mostly sung in German, and with Hermann Prey, baritone and Erika Koth, soprano in many of the duets; Baroque arias by Handel, from "Xerxes" (including the famous "Ombre mai fu" sung in German) and "Julius Caesar", selections from Monteverdi's "Orfeo" (an early track from 1955 sung in Italian); Schumann's "Dichterliebe", 4 Beethoven Lieder, including "Adelaide" and "Der Kuss"; and 9 Schubert lieder, including "An der Musik," and "Der Musensohn", all with Hubert Giesen, piano; Popular songs such as "Granada" and Viennese songs, with chamber orchestra accompaniment. There are no texts for the songs, but you may have text booklets with other CD releases, so don't really need them when you hear Wunderlich's beautiful voice.

There is a booklet with articles about Wunderlich's career, including a preface by his widow, Eva Wunderlich, photos of Wunderlich as a boy and young man, with his wife Eva in 1965, and children Constanze, Wolfgang, and Barbara. I enjoy reading and looking at the booklet, even apart from listening to the beautiful recordings.

Wunderlich was a genius, and his voice sounds great in every track, mono (some, but not a majority) and stereo (most of the tracks in the 7 discs are stereo) alike. If you love great music, and opera, but like me aren't often of a mind to sit still for 3 hours to listen to one, get this. It's a great release, and reasonably priced to boot. I'm thankful to God for great music, for the ability to hear and feel, and for Fritz Wunderlich and his service to music lovers everywhere.

Customer Reviews:

The Mastersinger.......2000-06-24

If the second half of the 20th Century has musical signs, they must include that phenomenal German singer Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau who dominated the recital and concert halls, the opera stages and the recording studios in a way no other artist has done it, except maybe Leonard Bernstein. In celebration of this great artist's 75th birthday we have here a set which includes the gems of his lieder repertoire, starting with those great Schubert cycles in their most vivid performances. Just listen to those early renditions of the Schone Mullerin or with Jorg Demus, or to Schuman's Dichterliebe cycle (with the same pianist). And you shall not miss the artistry of this most sensitive voice in full volume of Mahler lieder with piano and orchestral songs. And what about the Morike lieder by Hugo Wolf? Well, you shall probably wonder at that special cooperation between the singer and the Russian pianist Svitoslav Richter. It is a performance of lifetime, and so it is with the Wintereise of Schubert with Barnboim at the piano. Those who know the artistry of Fischer-Dieskau and even those who have already other recordings of those great works will not regret having this special set. For the newcomers to this great artist there will be a lot to discover, The music itself, sure, but mainly the art of interpratation. In this alone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau shine high and above all other singers.

An encyclopedic collection of Schubert songs, Volume 2.......2005-10-26

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (born 1925) is considered by many to be the foremost authority on Schubert Lieder for the male voice in our time. He likely made more recordings of this area of music than any other singer, having not only this 9 disc set, but another 9 disc set (Volume 1) for DG, the three complete song cycles: "Schwanengesang", "Die Schone Mullerin" and "Winterreise" (DG, Volume 3 of Fischer-Dieskau's Lieder edition), plus a 6 disc set of Schubert Lieder for EMI, also with Gerald Moore. Figure in the earlier recordings from the late 1940s, and live recitals on such labels as Orfeo, and there are ALOT of Fischer-Dieskau Schubert lieder recordings available.

Critics of vocal recitals and lieder may have other opinions, but I think this is as fine a collection as any. I keep this, like Volume 1, to be able to refer to a given song, not to listen to disc after disc of Schubert Lieder in one sitting, even though all are delightful works. Fischer-Dieskau manages to make Schubert's simple, strophic songs sound like great masterpieces, perhaps greater than they really are. And pianist Gerald Moore is an excellent partner: Moore and Fischer-Dieskau work as one, in perfect sync.

Keep in mind these are all songs for male voice, and not the complete Schubert songs. DG should be commended for releasing these recordings on CD and keeping them before the public. If you are really a Schubert completist, consider also the complete Hyperion Schubert Edition, with Graham Johnson, piano, and singers such as Lucia Popp, Peter Schreier, Janet Baker, Stephen Varcoe, Maragaret Price, Ian Bostridge, Martyn Hill singing all the 700+ songs Schubert composed in his short lifetime (1797-1828; Schubert's first lieder were composed about 1815). (The Hyperion Schubert edition is available in Great Britain for about $250 for 40 discs, if you cannot find it in the US).

For further comment, please see my remarks for DG, Volume 1 of Schubert Lieder by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

Make up your mind to this journey........2001-02-07

Since this set of Schubert lieder (3 boxes, 21 cds in all) has become a legedary classic, I don't think I should make any comment. But just a suggestion to those who want to embark on these discs. Make up your mind on this journey. On facing such a tome record arranged and sung chronically, it's useless and wrong only to listen to some famous lieder or discs or just listen randomly. You should spare a long period of time, begin by listening from the very first disc to the last disc. And, during the period do not listen to any lied of other composers. Then gradually, lied by lied, disc by disc, you will forget this is Fischer-Diskau and Moore---This is a real life of a great soul! You are really touching and breathing with a great soul! Feel the sound of schubert, feel his struggle, his emotion, his feeling, his hate and love. Feel how those youthful spontaneous and raw lieder gradually developed into fully ripened masterpieces. Such wonderful experience belongs only to really patient listeners.

It took me about 2 full weeks to listen to the whole 21 discs. Fischer-Diskau and Moore chose the "Abschied(Farewell)" to be the last lieder read (this song happened to be the only lied of Schubert to be recite with piano accompaniment, and which was composed during his final years). Thus the whole hundreds of lieder, or the whole life of Schubert, ended on this lied, farewell to the earth. It began with "Leb wohl, du schoene Erde (Goodbye, you beautiful Earth)". I will forever remember when I finally came into this lied, on the first words of Diskau's "Leb wohl, du schoene Erde" I trembled and cried from the very first note to the last note. My god, it's untouchable granduer.

LAS ROSAS DEL JARDIN.......2000-05-03

Indudablemente, si de Lieder vamos hablar, los de Schubert son LA BIBLIA en la materia. Ningún otro compositor por más bueno que sea, llega acercarse a la belleza de los Lieder de Franz Peter Schubert, entre ellos me refiero concretamente a ilustres compositores como: Beethoven, Schumann, Wolf, Mussorsgky, Tchaikovsky, y Richard Strauss.

Si tendríamos que definir con una sola palabra a estos Lieder está con seguridad sería "MELANCOLIA". Las canciones de Schubert son tan hermosas como las rosas del jardín, pero tienen como ésa flor, espinas, pues para personas de sensibilidad artística, generalmente cuando los escuchamos terminamos con un nudo en la garganta sino con lágrimas en los ojos.

Richard Crooks: A Fine Man and a Master Singer.......2006-06-23

I most heartily agree with what the earlier reviewer has written of Richard Crooks and of this excellent Stanford Archive set.

The 2 CD set is a most welcome release, and I note that, for now at least, one seller has it available at the bargain price of $14.95. Collectors of the recordings of singers from the early years of last c
