Instruments
This recording uses a 'hammerflügel', an instrument from Schubert's time, to achieve a historically accurate performance sound.
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.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Schubert was significantly influenced by poets of the Empfindsamkeit, a movement focused on individual feeling and personal emotion, setting over a hundred of their poems.
Recording & Production
The Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition, an album series, follows Schubert's original concept of grouping songs by the poets who inspired him.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Schubert set poetry from over 115 writers, including classical Greek, medieval, Renaissance, 18th-century German, and early Romantic authors.
Composer Biography
Schubert remained in Vienna for most of his life, with only a few trips and two periods as a music teacher for Count Esterházy's daughters in Zseliz.
Recording & Production
The pianist Ulrich Eisenlohr is the Artistic Advisor for the Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition, selecting German-speaking singers he believes will stand the test of time.
