Composition History

The Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition project follows Franz Schubert's original concept from 1816 to publish all his songs, grouped by the poets who inspired him.

Composer Biography

Ludwig Theobul Kosegarten (1758-1818), whose poems are featured on this album, was a pastor on the Baltic island of Rügen and corresponded with Goethe.

Performer Biography

Ulrich Eisenlohr, the pianist on this album, is also the artistic leader of the Naxos Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition and has taught Lieder classes at conservatories.

Instruments

This recording uses a 'hammerflügel' (fortepiano), which is considered the 'correct' instrument for historically accurate performances of Schubert's music, offering a different sound spectrum than a modern grand piano.

Recording & Production

The performers on this album benefit from the Neue Schubert Ausgabe (New Schubert Edition), which uses primary sources like autograph copies for the most recent research.

Historical Context

The literary trend of Empfindsamkeit (the sentimental) in the 18th century emphasized emotion and individual personality, influenced by the emancipation of the bourgeoisie and Enlightenment thought.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Schubert set the poetry of over 115 writers to music, including authors from classical Greece, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and his contemporaries like Heinrich Heine.
