Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured during the absolute vocal prime of the legendary German bass-baritone, this recording presents an emotionally devastating, incredibly grave interpretation of Schubert's posthumous song cycle. Accompanied by the deeply sensitive, masterful piano work of Gerald Moore, the intensely dramatic performance perfectly realizes the profound, tragic weight of the composer's final masterpieces.
