Need to rewatch after the sun goes down. Daylight seems to divert from my ability to really focus on most of these pieces, as tbe demarcations between beginning, middle, and end are kinda oblique sometimes.

Not talking about Threnody either, that one is a warhouse by now, or at least how I came to know it, which was most every comp student and other "new mudic" person pimping it to anybody who would listen (and I would, and still wiill, when the occasion calls for it). Talking about the later works, strong melodic cells, strong developments of the, but without a deeper focus than I was able to muster today with all the sunlight outside, disengagingly disorienting in that evrrything starts to sound like a transition to and end that never arrives, or like an ending that had no beginning, something like that.

But that's me, I know. Other times have had quite different outcomes.

Hmm. Interesting. I should look into that CD.

 

Prompted by your post, I'm now spinning this one:

The Hyperion Schubert Edition, Vol. 21 / Edith Mathis, Graham Johnson

Edith Mathis would be IMO another top choice .... and Lucia Popp + Brigitte Fassbaender ....

Funny that you mention Fassbaender. I've eyed that one too. Love her voice.

Popp has never grabbed my ear. Maybe I should give her Schubert a try.

Don't want to be pushy at all but dont miss out on this Hyperion Lucia Popp Schubert Lied recital .... this is truly superb ....
