Schubert, Franz – 21 Songs

Schubert, Franz – 21 Songs – Coote, Alice – Julius Drake (Hyperion 2022)
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).
