The Naxos Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition: Schubert set the poetry of over 115 writers to music. He selected poems from classical Greece, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, from eighteenth-century German authors, early Romantics, Biedermeier poets, and Heine. The Deutsche Schubert-Lied-Edition presents all Schubert’s Lieder, over 700 songs, grouped according to the poets who inspired him. Thanks to Bärenreiter’s Neue Schubert-Ausgabe (‘New Schubert Edition’), Tübingen, which uses primary sources, the performers have been able to benefit from the most recent research of the editorial team. This double album of settings of poems by Schiller, Schubert’s first and foremost inspiration as a composer of songs, focusses on the double and triple settings, illustrating how the grand and exuberant form of the very early songs developed into the concentrated, extremely economical structure of the late compositions.
