LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Lieder Dietrich Henschel, Michael Schäfer
1h18
Digital
HMC901801
Beethoven composed more than eighty songs in all - the first one as early as 1783, in Bonn, the last forty years later in Vienna. In the course of his experience with the genre he outgrew the aesthetic and stylistic conventions of the Classical era and developed a form of his own that foreshadowed the Romantic songs of Schubert and Schumann. This recording provides impressive testimony to his achievement.
