[ Australian SBS Decca Eloquence / CD ]
Release Date: Sunday 10 March 2013
"Schiff's realization of the piano's role seconds the singer's probings perfectly. […] This is really a 'must' for any Lieder collection." (Gramophone)
"This is a wonderful disc by any standard. Indeed, the partnership of Schreier and Schiff [is] a masterstroke of Decca … [Schreier's] performances of the Heine settings … have become so anguished as to expose every nerve end in their depiction of lost love, and Schiff's realization of the piano's role seconds the singer's probings perfectly. […] This is really a 'must' for any Lieder collection." (Gramophone)
"One of the greats. The most of all Schreier's Schwanengesang recordings, and with a previously unpublished performance of 'Auf der Strom' as a bonus." (BBC Music)
