Composition History

In 1816, Franz Schubert and his friends planned to publish a collection of all his songs, starting with eight volumes grouped by poet.

Performer Biography

Ulrich Eisenlohr, the pianist on this album, is the artistic leader of the Naxos Deutsche Schubert Lied Edition and has specialized in song accompaniment and chamber music.

Recording & Production

The performers on this album benefit from the Neue Schubert Ausgabe (New Schubert Edition) published by Bärenreiter, which uses primary sources like autograph copies.

Recording & Production

The Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition follows Schubert's original concept, grouping his over 700 songs by the poets who inspired him.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Schubert set the poetry of over 115 writers to music, including classical Greek, medieval, Renaissance, and 18th-century German authors, as well as early Romantics and Biedermeier poets.

Instruments

This recording uses a 'hammerflügel' (fortepiano), the historically accurate instrument for Schubert's time, which offers a different sound spectrum compared to a modern concert grand piano.
