First, there's the subject: Schubert and the Classics, Schubert setting texts based on classic myths, a subject that brought out the highest and the noblest in Schubert. Second, there is the poetry Schubert set, poetry by Schiller, the most Romantic of the German Enlightenment poets who could breathe passionate life into the colossus of Rhodes, and Mayrhofer, a poet, a classics scholar, a friend of Schubert's, and one of the great despairing artists of the age. Third, there's Thomas Hampson, a baritone with a virile and supple voice, a talent for getting beneath the skin of the songs he sings, and an intelligence capable of penetrating to the heart of Schubert's songs. And finally, there's Graham Johnson, a brilliant pianist, a great accompanist, and a superb writer of the best program notes ever included with a compact disc. Taken all together, they add up to one of the most successful of all the volumes in Johnson's Schubert edition. ~ James Leonard, Rovi
