The complete songs
2 / [Interpr.:] Angelika Kirchschlager, Julius Drake

„This is the second instalment of Hyperion's retrospective of Liszt's complete songs, the brainchild of pianist Julius Drake, and one of the most important recording projects of recent years. It's very different from its predecessor, which featured tenor Matthew Polenzani and songs by Liszt at his most spectacular and extrovert. With mezzo Angelika Kirchschlager, Drake now steers us into territory that is altogether more reflective, while some of Liszt's most familiar songs, such as Es Muss ein Wunderbares Sein, are included in the programme“ (Guardian)
