Schwanengesang - Svanasöngur og fjögur sönglög

Album by Franz Schubert & Kristinn Sigmundsson & Jónas Ingimundarson

Schwanengesang — Svanasöngur og fjögur sönglög is a posthumous collection of lieder by Franz Schubert, published in 1829. Composed at the end of his life, the collection exemplifies early Romantic lieder characterised by lyrical vocal lines and richly expressive piano accompaniment, and it occupies an important place as one of Schubert's final contributions to the art-song repertoire, emphasising sombre and introspective moods.
First released: 1995
