The Hyperion Schubert Edition 6 / Anthony Rolfe Johnson,

The 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. An interesting little backwater in musical history, that, and a lovely program of Schubert songs, this. Try it, you'll like it. --David Hurwitz
