SCHUBERT:  DIE SCHÖNE MÜLLERIN
RICHARD EDGAR-WILSON (tenor),
JOANNA LEACH (fortepiano)

This work is played on a Clementi square piano of 1832 and is therefore a genuine reconstruction of the sort of sound heard in Schubert’s day. The instrument was restored by Andrew Lancaster. A very rare opportunity to hear one of the greatest vocals works ever written, as it would have sounded to the composer's contemporaries.
