Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Inspired by the verse of the German romantic poets, Franz Schubert achieved glittering fame as a creator of the 19th-century lied long before public recognition of his symphonies assured his place in music. In 10 years, Schubert composed over 600 lieder, whose charming melodies, harmonic invention, and depth of emotion rank them at the top of the form. This volume offers 59 favourite songs from the standard Breitkopf and Hartel complete-score edition of 1884-97. Includes Das Wanderer, Die Forelle and Schwanengesang ./ Répertoire / Voix

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Although Mozart’s earliest Lieder date from his boyhood, most of his approximately thirty Lieder were composed during his years in Vienna. Many of them were written for publication in almanacs and song collections or for his circle of friends. The texts range from sentimental verse found in popular novels and instructive poetry by contemporary Viennese and north-German writers to patriotic ditties, which refer to current political events, especially the war with the Turks./ Répertoire / Voix
