| Summary: | Alphabetical listing of Schubert's songs and song cycles, with musical incipits, vocal texts with English translations, discographies and extensive commentaries including poetic sources, poets' biographies and general information on accompaniment, tonality, transcriptions, singers and performers, and chronologies. This three-volume boxed set is the definitive work on Franz Schubert's vocal music with piano. A richly illustrated encyclopedia, these substantial volumes contain more than seven hundred song commentaries with parallel text and translations (by Richard Wigmore), detailed annotations on the songs' poetic sources, and biographies of one hundred and twenty poets, as well as general articles on accompaniment, tonality, transcriptions, singers, and more. Written by Graham Johnson--celebrated accompanist, author, and the first pianist ever to record all of Schubert's songs and part-songs--this sumptuous work is a must for performers, scholars, and all lovers of Schubert lieder. |
