Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Brigitte Fassbänder's rich contralto voice suits this particular program of songs especially well, since most of them deal with the subject of death in one form or another. The disc opens with one of Schubert's most famous and best loved "hits"--Death and the Maiden. As usual in this series, Graham Johnson accompanies to perfection, and supplies excellent notes about each item. --David Hurwitz
