Loewe - Complete Lieder & Balladen - Box Set 21CDs

Label : CPO
Format : Ape
Cover : Yes

If you love Schubert, you should also love Carl Loewe, his immediate heir. And, just as Hyperion has graced the world with its 40-CD complete Schubert Lieder anthology, cpo has now likewise completed and assembled in one box its complete recordings of Loewe’s solo Lieder and ballads. (Unlike the Hyperion Schubert set, this does not include duets, trios, etc.)

The CDs in this set were recorded between 1993 and 2007. Unlike the Hyperion boxed set reissue of the Schubert Lieder, this reissue retains the original order and format, instead of re- (or dis-) organizing the songs chronologically by date of composition. The roster of singers is as follows:

CD 1: Andreas Schmidt - baritone
CD 2: Iris Vermillion - mezzo-soprano
CD 3: Roman Trekel - baritone
CD 4: Gabriele Rossmanith - soprano
CD 5: Edith Mathis - soprano
CD 6: Kurt Moll - bass
CD 7: Andreas Schmidt - baritone
CD 8: Iris Vermillion - mezzo-soprano
CD 9: Christoph Prégardien - tenor
CD 10: Ruth Ziesak - soprano
CD 11: Monica Groop - mezzo-soprano
CD 12: Yvi Jänicke - mezzo-soprano
