This is the penultimate volume of the Hyperion Schubert Edition. It is devoted to music from the penultimate year of Schubert's short life, 1827. There are 17 widely varied items in it including three Italian settings, three rare fragments never before recorded, the comic cantata Der Hochzeitsbraten, and a touching thanksgiving tribute for the recovery from illness of 17-year-old Irene Kiesewetter, written for four soloists, choir and two pianists.
'Superb … Wonderfully fluent, confident singing from Finley, soft-grained intimacy from Banse … a delight' (Gramophone)
'Elegant performances' (BBC Music Magazine)
