Schubert Lieder Volume 8: Wanderer’s Nachtlied
The songs on this CD are among the most moving and wonderful that the composer wrote. At age 31, when Schubert died, he left us 600 of these songs, and also symphonies, chamber music, and instrumental compositions.
Some of the Lieder recorded on this CD are:
An die untergehende Sonne, D457
Der Tod und das Mädchen, D531
Die Rose, D745
Erinnerung (Totenopfer)
Litanei auf das Fest Allerseelen, D343
Auf dem Wasser zu singen, D774
Abendbilder, D650
Performed by Matthias Goerne (baritone)
International Record Review wrote:
“Goerne, particularly in the performance of Schubert’s songs, is perhaps the best of them all … This is a constantly interesting collection of songs, wonderfully performed, to set beside Goerne’s seven earlier Schubert recordings for harmonia mundi.”
