The Hyperion Schubert Edition 4 / Philip Langridge, Graham Johnson
Songs of love and songs about singing make up the largest number of the 15 titles included in Volume 4 of Hyperion's complete Schubert song edition. Philip Langridge's plaintive tenor makes him ideal at portraying the longings of love (cynics would call it whining, but you can't be a cynic and listen to Schubert's songs). As always, Graham Johnson contributes expert accompaniments and superb program notes.--David Hurwitz
