Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In his short working life Schubert created a vast literature of song, reaching a peak of expressiveness which has never been surpassed. This reference provides for the first time a comprehensive guide to not just the well-known songs but to every song by Schubert for solo voice and piano, 600 in all, including different versions, unfinished songs, and variants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classical Singer Handbook to Schubert, June 2, 2000
John Reed's Schubert Song Companion provides clear and literal translations to the more than 600 known Schubert lieder. Reed also includes musical analysizations and historical information about each song. This book is perfect for anyone from the Schubert scholar to the curious listener. Definately a must for any Schubert singer!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Companion..., July 15, 2007
By The Riviera Reviewer (the California Riviera.) - See all my reviews
.
For those who have the time and intellectual inclination, suggest you pair this book with Schubert: Lieder and go through the whole Schubert lieder experience, combining poetry, music, and criticism: a worthy pursuit of the best of humanity--amid the wrack and ruin of civilization in the 21st Century New Dark Age.
