Composer
Franz Schubert
| 1797-1828Throughout most of his life Franz Schubert was concerned with church music. When he was eleven he was chosen as treble soloist at his local church in the Vienna suburb of Lichtenthal and soon afterwards he was admitted to the choir of the Imperial Court Chapel, directed by Antonio Salieri. Soon he also began to compose; his earliest surviving sacred pieces date from 1812. During his lifetime his church music achieved a comparatively wide degree of acceptance but after his death, most notably, his smaller works were unjustly forgotten. The Carus programme encompasses Schubert’s complete sacred compositions and it is intended to emphasize the wide range of his works in this area. Many of the smaller liturgical compositions are published here for the first time in separate editions. What is to be discovered is a fascinating œuvre, rooted in the ‘stile antico’ of Antonio Salieri and in the compositions of the Viennese classical masters, but whose exquisite lyricism and harmonic subtlety reveal a typically Schubertian world of expression: works with great power of conviction and exceptional musical beauty.

Reviews
[...] Auch von letzter Versöhnung mit dem Unausweichlichen handelt die CD, und Cornelius Hauptmann ist ein Name, den man sich merken muss. Er ist ein Gestalter, der überreich an Möglichkeiten ist. In Eric Schneider hat er einen idealen Partner, der jedem Lied eine zusätzliche Tiefe gibt. Höhepunkt für mich: ‚Wanderers Nachtlied’ D.769: ganz einzigartig!
