Volume 25 in Hyperion's complete Schubert song edition consists of the famous song cycle Die schöne Müllerin (which sounds just awful when you translate it into "The Pretty Lady Miller"). Tenor Ian Bostridge made quite a splash with his singing of this work, though the recording is not as flattering as others in this series. An interesting gimmick is Dietrich Fischer- Dieskau's reading of the poems that Schubert didn't set. If you don't like this little touch, you can skip those tracks. Johnson's notes are incredible--a veritable tome, no less. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars A young voice that suits the spirit of the cycle, September 15, 1999

This review is from: The Hyperion Schubert Edition 25 - Die schöne Müllerin / Bostridge, Fischer-Dieskau, Johnson (Audio CD)

A recording to treasure. In a recent concert at Carnegie Hall, I was a little turned off by Bostridge's stage posturing,but the voice was there and what a voice it is! I highly recommend this recording,as well as his Schumann and Britten;concerning the present Schubert ,I find that his young sound very much goes with the youthful angst of the rejected lover.Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant for a taster, now try more, September 8, 1999

I've only recently discovered the wonderful singing voice of Ian Bostridge, but I'm captivated.For clarity, tone,and expression, he can't be beaten.;if you enjoy this you must try his Schubert Lieder,on EMI, accompanist Julius Drake. "Litanei auf das Fest Allerseelen" is so beautiful, and what about the "Erlkonig?".Have you ever heard anything so creepy?

This is a marvelous CD .Ian's temperemant are neatly fit to the cycle, both in age and sound. With his golden and fresh tone, the sorrow of the muller are more convincible and vivid compared to those old tenors. His interpretion is so moving that I wonder anyone can surpass this. Graham's accompaniment are as well superb as Fischer-Diskau's recite.
