Product Notes
The baritone Stephan Genz and the pianist Michel Dalberto gathered again around the Lied. After Schumann, Brahms and Wolf, they join Schubert to record his Swansong. That posthumous cycle, with it's moving accents and mysterious atmosphere, was made up by an editor in want of a commercial success. However this collection of lieder shows how skilled Schubert was to make a real author of a minor one. Schubert was also the first composer to set Heine's poetry to music, well before Schumann.
