LoginThe Hyperion Schubert Edition 5 / Elizabeth Connell, Graham Johnson
Description:
This particular volume in Hyperion's ongoing complete Schubert song edition highlights the more operatic side of the composer's vocal writing. The major work is one of his epic ballads to a text by Schiller, the Lament of Ceres. It's nearly 20 minutes long and really does call on an operatic range of vocal resources.

Typically magnificent notes and presentation. --David Hurwitz
