LoginThe Hyperion Schubert Edition 6 / Anthony Rolfe Johnson, Graham Johnson

Volume 6 of Hyperion's complete Schubert song edition contains several settings of poems by Rochlitz, a second-rate writer and music critic. Rochlitz became famous not only because of these Schubert songs, but also for his harsh words about Beethoven's Wellington's Victory, which prompted the composer to compare Rochlitz's highest thoughts to his own bodily waste products.
