Customer Reviews of The Hyperion Schubert Edition 3 / Ann Murray, Graham Johnson
Another great one in this series! I presently own four of the "Schubert Edition" from Hyperion, and this is an excellent volume in the series. This one, as do a couple of others, concentrates on the poetry of Schubert's many friends. Notice how the composer works his magic on even the most pedestrian of verses-- I literally couldn't believe it.
Ann Murray has always been an underrated interpreter, and she brings a wonderful ear for German and a fabulous musical sense. There are many wonderful things to be found here, including the dark, haunting "Der Zwerg", but the real pleasures, as always, in Schubert's output are the obscurities, the nooks and crannies of the catalogue. Two such for me stand out: "Ruckweg", a small, tuneful, yet melancholy strain of returning to the city of Vienna, and "Viola", a paean to a flower that somehow, miraculously, justifies its almost 15-minute running length.
Other fine additions are "Pax Vobiscum", the only song heard at the composer's funeral, "Trost im Liede", which explains Schubert's love for music, and "Nacht und Traume", possibly the most dreamily Romantic of all Schubert's songs.
Throughout, Graham Johnson's liner notes entertain, inform, and enlighten. This CD is a must-have!
