This makes the Schubert Edition the most comprehensive survey ever undertaken of this composer’s piano-accompanied vocal music. Since those early days we have broadened the scope of The Hyperion Schubert Edition to include all the part-songs with piano, a number of the unaccompanied choral works that are relevant to the main body of the lieder, and the considerable number of fragments that throw further light on Schubert’s output but which have hitherto been largely excluded from the recording studio. Our initial aim to complete the series in time for the composer’s bicentenary in 1997 proved rather more ambitious than we realized at the time. This CD marks the beginning of the last lap of the project initiated some ten years ago with a disc of Schubert lieder sung by Dame Janet Baker.
