The Hyperion Schubert Edition 23 / Christoph Prégardien, Graham Johnson
In a very brief span of time, tenor Christoph Prégardien has established himself as a commanding interpreter of Schubert songs. This program has a certain bardic quality, with lots of songs about harps, or by people playing harps, including threeHarper's Songsfrom Goethe'sWilhelm Meister. Schubert loved this sort of thing, and has a ball coming up with musical evocations of ages past. A marvelous collection.--David Hurwitz
