Overview

This remarkable collection of Franz Schubert's lieder, performed by Francisco Araiza (tenor) and Irwin Gage (piano), showcases a selection of works rarely explored in concert halls and recordings. With timeless pieces like Der Sänger, Frühlingsglaube, and Der Musensohn, as well as hidden gems like Vergißmeinnicht and Vor meiner Wiege, this album highlights Schubert's mastery in setting profound, introspective poetry to music.

Through these songs, listeners gain insight into Schubert's soul, reflecting themes of nostalgia, the passage of time, and existential longing. Araiza's interpretation captures the emotional depth and poetic essence of these lieder, complemented by Gage's sensitive piano accompaniment. Together, they transport audiences to the heart of Schubert’s artistry.
