Recording & Production

Performer Biography
Ian Partridge was awarded the CBE in 1992 for his services to music.
Composer Biography
Franz Schubert, the composer, was about five feet tall, fat (nicknamed 'Schwammerl' or 'little mushroom'), myopic, and had thinning hair due to mercury treatment for syphilis.
Performer Biography
Ian Partridge, the tenor on this album, began his singing career as a treble in the choir at New College, Oxford.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Schubert often reserved the key of A minor for songs about 'misfits and pariahs,' such as the hurdy-gurdy man or the Harper.
Composer Biography
Schubert was not always appreciated during his lifetime, with only one concert devoted entirely to his music, and he never had a loving relationship with a woman.
