Schubert: The Complete Lieder: Deutsche Schubert Lied Edition (38 CDs)

Schubert set the verse of more than 115 poets to music, producing around 650 songs. He selected biblical texts and poetry from classical Greece, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the early Romantic era, the poets including Goethe, Schiller, Shakespeare, Petrarca and Heine as well as his Austrian contemporaries and friends. The Complete Lieder Edition includes all the solo songs and part songs with piano, grouped according to the poets who inspired him. “A cast of bright, youthful, expressive voices and a first-rate pianist to bring the music off …the results are delightful”—American Record Guide.
