Schubert: 21 Songs
Alice Coote (mezzo-soprano), Julius Drake (piano)
CDA68169
One of the leading mezzos of our day in a Schubert recital which offers seventy minutes of pure pleasure. The twenty-one songs recorded here are among Schubert’s finest, from Erlkönig (written in the composer’s annus mirabilis of 1815) to Leise flehen (which dates from his final summer).
