Notes & Reviews:
"As Graham Johnson remarks in his notes, the rare combination of Britten and Fischer-Dieskau in Schubert is musically electric, with each artist daring the other to greater heights. Every song seems to be newly imagined in a challenging act of re-creation...Elsewhere on the disc, Heather Harper, in secure, shining voice, gives a compelling readingof 'Der Hirt auf dem Felsen', darker and grander than we usually hear...revelatory music-making." ***** -BBC Music
